The Ireland Walking Guide always strives to acknowledge and credit original sources of information. As the Ireland-based publisher who has launched the vast majority of new original Irish summit and High Point lists in the 21st century (most of which were researched and compiled by our very own Kieron Gribbon), we fully understand the dedication and effort that goes into creating original hill lists. In the case of Irish summit and High Point lists, we firmly believe that all the credit belongs to the compilers who undertook months (sometimes years!) of painstaking map-based research to create their original lists. For a list to be classed as truly 'original', at least 50% of its locations must have been based on original map-based research.
