Access to this peak can be gained by the small road to the North which leaves the main road at approx R 263 208 starG. You have the option of leaving your car here or driving in as far as the forest entrance proper at R 2596 2005 starH. The easiest way to get to the summit is to....1) At the forest entrance, take a right and walk about 200 metres 2) Turn off left into the forest and walk uphill in a Southerly direction for about 200 metres until you break out into an obvious firebreak 3) This firebreak is about 15 metres wide and runs roughly in an East/West direction. Walk East to the intersection of the 3 firebreaks which Trailmaster suggests is the summit. There is nothing obvious to mark the summit (R26011 19831 starI as shown in the photo) and the tall trees completely block any views. In fact, the only views during the whole walk are back at the approach road where the Shannon Estuary can be seen in the distance to the North. Overall, Mullaghareirk is a bland hill covered in forestry and there is little to recommend about it. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/802/comment/3228/
