A friend of mine plans to do Brandon Mountain in Kerry Ireland in the next 6 weeks. He has purchased an OS map of the area but is having problems getting a route guide.
I have found a couple of books on Amazon that might potentially have a route in but I am not sure and besides the one most likely has a huge delivery time and he doesn't have time for that.

Can anyone help?
More than one way up:
1. Start Faha Q491119 - behind farmhouse and follow the signposts all the way to the top! Or follow the Faha ridge. Or combine the two.
2. Start Ballybrack Q433092 and follow the Saint's Road
It's one of my favourite mountains of all time. A Desert Island mountain. Watch out for the nuns throwing themselves off the top.

You can have a look on Mountain Views which lists all mountains in Ireland over 500m. It is a community site and accepts contributions from members. There are over 10 pics and many contributions about Brandon including some opinions on different routes.
Mountain Views is at www.mountainviews.ie
