The compelling history of the
buildings.
Tasteful integration of old and new
buildings with formal rear garden
Richmond Barracks, now one of Ireland’s Permanent Reminder 1916-2016 Projects. A unique
historical venue in Dublin 8, offering exhibitions and historical tours. Richmond Barracks
is a perfect venue to host a range of public and private events. The historic Gymnasium at
Richmond can accommodate up to 200 people and is ideal for conferences, receptions and
exhibitions. Visitors can relax in a beautiful and extensive garden to the rear of the buildings.
The buildings have significant connections to the 1916 Rising and the events that took place
in its aftermath.
• The Royal Irish Regiment which was based at Richmond Barracks was engaged in fighting
the Irish Volunteers led by Eamon Ceannt at the South Dublin Union during Easter Week.

and held at Richmond Barracks before being sent to prison camps in England and Wales.
• The leaders and more prominent persons were held in the gymnasium.

before they were sent to Kilmainham Gaol for execution.
