On May 2, 1882, Charles Stewart Parnell, a prominent Irish nationalist politician, was released from Kilmainham Gaol under the terms of the Kilmainham Treaty. This agreement, reached between Parnell and the British government, aimed to resolve the ongoing land agitation in Ireland. Parnell's release was a significant moment in the Land War, leading to a temporary cessation of agrarian unrest and marking a pivotal point in his political career and the broader Irish Home Rule movement. The treaty also involved the British government addressing tenant arrears.
