Yes correct for one night only, they were brought in batches for execution of three or two at a time and there were people who were brought here men and women who had sentences commuted, these cases were tried by military tribunal, so the person brought here did not know if they were to be executed or not in the morning, the exception was James Connolly, he was taken from his hospital bed put in a truck brought through the back gate it is still there taken out, tied on a chair and shot, the 13 others were shot at the opposite wall a small black cross marks the spot. A word of warning this is an eery place I got the feeling of some unease both inside the prison, some ordinary, some little death masks, and the stone breakers yard, well judge for yourself, would definitely need a pint after a visit.
Very informative and interesting thank you.
Is the 1916 corridor where Patrick Pearse and the GPO rebels were held?
