Charles Stewart Parnell was probably the most famous person to be jailed in Kilmainham. The great Protestant statesman and Land League leader who sought Home Rule for the whole Irish nation and relief for the tenant farmers served several months in Kilmainham in 1881 and 1882. In 1881 he established a newspaper,"United Ireland" which supported the Land League. Given the name og Parnell's newspaper, it is unlikely that many of today's Dáil members would have approved of such a title.
