Four prisoners, at Richmond Barracks in Dublin after the Easter Rising, 1916. British Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith came to Ireland on 12 May 1916. He visited Richmond Barracks and spoke with some of the prisoners held there.

British forces designated Dublin's Richmond Barracks in Inchicore as the central holding place for captured or suspected rebels. Many of these prisoners were sent on to prison camps in England or Wales. Six of the Signatories of the Proclamation were court-martialed and sentenced to death in Richmond Barracks.
