    Thanks for that, it's unusual indeed for them to be firing on a weekend.

    I daresay you'll still be able to ascend from the Glenmalure side. I'd guess there's FCA type exercises on - ones for part time soldiers who are working during the week?

    Yes, but the ever popular ascent via Camara Hill from Fenton's will be closed which will catch a few people out I'd imagine.

    You should always check firing times before planning a trip through the there. MI have the schedule up on their site.
