Can't be that easy!

In reply to Colin Murphy, I'm embarrassed to say that we visited Bull Island this summer without the thought of bagging the peak even occurring to me. Nor did we accidentally include it, as we only walked the north (inner) shore for about 600m. Did make a nice dog-walk, though, with interesting bird-life, including herons and egrets (so no regrets!). Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2328/comment/23404/
