Here is the first video to share from my week long visit to Eire.
Here both fellow team member Sean Dalton and myself visit an Irish Landmark site, Wicklow Gaol, in Wicklow, Eire.
Wicklow Gaol is a former prison for both political dissidents, social campaigners, and revolutionaries during Ireland`s long and bloody struggle from British rule. Built from 1702 and closed in 1924, many innocent men, women and children entered it`s walls never to return to normal life.
The gaol also housed, murderers, rapists and robbers who were housed with people who were forced to steal in order to survive - and particularly during the Irish potato famine..
Many of these poor people also died at the hands of these criminals.
Wicklow is a relic of many similar gaols across not just Ireland but also mainland Britain where similar treatment was meted out to poor Scots, Welsh and English people living under an oppressive and evil rule. Such is the dark history of my country.
May the innocents of all these nations find eternal peace.
