What kind of stone is Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin Ireland made out of?

As far as I know the Gaol is made mostly of limestone. This led to problems when it was built because it was on a very exposed site and the rain was absorbed, making the Gaol so wet when it first opened that the ground floor could not be used for much of the first year.
