Rain and Politics
Melanie Ball  in Dublin
Dripping rain blurs your vision as you near the water-blackened limestone wall. Fading light dims to near darkness as you step through the gate. And those conditions are perfect, for sunshine would be inappropriate illumination for a tour of Dublin's Kilmainham Gaol. Opened on Gallows Hill in 1796, the gaol hosted a who's who of political prisoners over five nationalist rebellions, and became a symbol of Irish nationalism and political freedom.
