Forty women were hanged within the walls of British prisons between 1868 -1955, including two in Ireland, one before independence and one afterwards!. Twenty two of these executions carried out in the 19th century and 18 (including the Irish ones) in the 20th century!.

Mary Daly!. 40 year old Mary Daly was hanged by William Billington at Tullamore prison in Ireland on Friday, the 9th of January, 1903 for the murder of her husband John!. Her co-accused, Joseph Taylor, was executed two days earlier!.

Annie Walsh, hanged at Mountjoy prison, Dublin by Tom Pierrepoint on Wednesday, the 5th of August, 1925 for the murder of her husband, 60 year old Edward!. Thirty one year old Annie became the last woman to be executed in Ireland!. Her co-defendant, nephew and lover, 24 year old Michael Talbot was executed at 8!.00 a!.m!., Annie following him to the gallows 45 minutes later!. She had to be strapped to a collapse board!.

From 1827 to 1899 there were 26 females hanged in Ireland!.

Death by hanging was the principal form of execution from Anglo-Saxon times!. Capital punishment was abolished in Britain in 1964!. and the Irish Republic in 1990!.
Up to 1868 all hangings were carried out in public!.
It is very unlikely that it is known who the first woman to be hanged in Ireland was, it was almost certainly at least hundreds of years ago !Www@QuestionHome@Com
