Mount Leinster is not the highest hill in the province whose name it bears (a prize belonging to Lugnaquilla in County Wicklow) but it is the fifth-highest mountain in Leinster. It is the highest of the Blackstairs Mountains. A tall RTÉ television transmitter tops the peak with a mast height of 400 feet.
