Option 1 you can access the summit via the gate entrance described in the previous comments but you should keep to the track which although becomes faint as you keep left at C5101104838 starC this will bring you to within a short distance of the summit just hop fence into next field but this route can be slightly water logged or you can opt for Option 2 park at the entrance to the proposed wind farm road C5106303984 starD and walk on a nice gravel road which will take you basically to the same spot as Option 1. It looks as if the wind farm may be extended in the future. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1177/comment/18373/
