    Can't find the thread that was put up on this, at least I thought there was one :confused:

    Anyone have information on the cells that are meant to be in Dun Laoighaire pier? I had heard/read that they were meant to be opening them up for the public to see.

    Might be a mention in this document?

    There's also heritage reports and the masterplan for the harbour here http://dlharbour.ie/masterplan/masterplan/

    Yea, I have an old book on DL harbour and Pier, i'll try scan on the pages.

    IIRC, it was more of a temporary holding facility on the east pier itself rather than an actual prison. There was 4/6 cells in total. The bars of the cells are still but look out of place, as they no longer form an actual cell.
