This is the jail Eamon de Valera was held in after the British captured him and 13 other commanders for their involvment in the Easter Uprising in 1916.
The other 13 commanders were executed here, but Eamon was spared because of his U.S. citizenship and the additional fact that the British didn't want to tarnish their relations with America by killing a citizen and a political figure. Eamon later escaped.
