Any category one climbs in Ireland?

I'm sure this has probably been asked on here before but can't seem to find an answer even 'googling' it. Have first hand experience of category two climbs and am certainly not seeking out a category one in order to attempt it (can do without the pain).

'Categories' are set by race organisers and are fairly arbitrary; they can be whatever they like. There are climbs ranked as category 1 by Irish race organisers, in Irish races.

If you are asking if there are any climbs as difficult as a category 1 climb in the Tour, however, the answer would be no.
