Note(s)The entrance of this visitor centre was relocated from the Gaol to the Courthouse thereby improving visitor movement. Further efficiency was achieved by the addition of a bridge across the Courthouse entrance hall while new ticket facilities, a bookshop and cafe complete the visitor centre. The public plaza integrates Richmond gateway and creates a pedestrian link with the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
