Kilmainham

Kilmainham, a township of Dublin, adjoining the city. The Royal Hospital for disabled soldiers was founded by Charles II. There is a Government prison, in which Mr. Parnell and his colleagues were confined in 1882; the "Kilmainham Treaty," an alleged agreement between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell, was so called because it was said to have been formed during the latter's imprisonment.
