About the Irish 3000s
The Irish 3000s are the 13 mountains in Ireland over 3,000 feet (914.4 m), the Irish Furths on the Scottish Mountaineering Club's list. Most of them are in Kerry, on MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the Brandon range; the other two are Lugnaquilla in Wicklow and Galtymore in the Galtees.
They run from Carrauntoohil at 1,039 m, the highest mountain in Ireland, down to Galtymore at 918 m.
