Gaol restorers angry at 'access denial to commemorate work'

Volunteers who saved and restored Kilmainham Gaol today claimed they are being denied the right to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the start of their work.

About 20 conservationists, including a Civil War veteran, accused the Office of Public Works (OPW) of breaching a contract agreed after the state took day-to-day control of the rebuilt jail.
