Geraldine Curtin scoured prison registers, parliamentary papers, newspapers, and personal accounts of prisoners when she was writing her book "The Women of Galway Jail = Female Criminality in Nineteenth-Century Ireland"   http://tinyurl.com/66mugx

Funny how things change Christopher, what was a jail is now a Cathedral . I think work started on building it in the mid 1950's and was finished in the 1960's
