Day 21: Dublin Bus Tour

Today, I took a bus around Dublin. Seeing the main sights from the Guinness Brewery to the Aras an Uachtarain (The Irish Presidents House). I also, explored the Kilmainham Gaol (A jail used by the British thoughout their time here) and the National Museum, both where extremely intresting, in their own way.

Pictures from my tour and exploration of the Kilmainham Gaol. Kilmainham Gaol played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the prison by the British and latterly in 1923 by the Irish Free State.
