Club Outing – Wicklow Gaol
Wicklow Gaol is a former prison which is now a museum. There has been a prison building on this site since the late eighteenth century. It was used during the 1798 rebellion and prisoners were also held here before being transported to penal colonies. Prisoners from the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War were kept here too, the most famous of whom was Erskine Childers.

SAFETY ON OFFSHOOT OUTINGS AND EVENTS
It’s easy to become distracted when taking photographs. Use common sense, take responsibility for your safety, and then shoot and have fun.
