Debtors' Prison Dublin

The Debtors' Prison Dublin is an historic building in Dublin’s north inner city. It is listed as a Protected Structure in Dublin City Council’s Development Plan.〔Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017, Reference 3507, p. 102 http://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/content//Planning/DublinCityDevelopmentPlan/Documents/Dev_Plan_-_Vol_3_-_Record_of_Protected_Structures.pdf accessed 28th December 2014〕
== History ==
The Debtors' Prison Dublin was erected in 1794.〔Gilbert, J. T. (1854-59, reprinted 1972) ‘A History of the City of Dublin Volume 1’, p. 275, Dublin, Irish University Press〕 It is situated between Halston Street and Green Street in Dublin 1. It is a ‘U’ shaped building built of granite and limestone, rising to three storeys over a vaulted basement. It contains thirty-three cells that were used for individuals who had run up debts, often through gambling.〔Pearson, P. (2000) ‘The Heart of Dublin’, p. 346, Dublin, O’Brien Press〕 Rooms were rented either furnished or unfurnished, and less fortunate debtors were held in the basement cells. Prisoners were held until their debts were paid.〔Casey, C. (2005) 'The Buildings of Ireland - Dublin' p. 100, New Haven and London, Yale University Press〕 The building was more recently used as a Garda barracks, and as accommodation for Garda widows. In the 1960s it was used as local authority housing by Dublin Corporation.
In the late twentieth century it was threatened with demolition as it lay on the path of Dublin Corporation’s road-widening plans〔Sunday Business Post 'Locked away for the public good' Teri Griffin, 5 November 1995〕 for the Inner Tangent Road. In the 1990s the Green Street Trust, a charitable body composed mainly of members of the Students Against the Destruction of Dublin acquired a lease of the building from the Office of Public Works. It initiated refurbishment works on the building with a view to providing social housing. The Trust ran low on funds and returned the lease to Office of Public Works who now control the building which is currently unused. The building has been used as a location for several films including 'The Tale of Sweeney Todd' and 'David Copperfield'.
