    Somewhere in Meelin, Co Cork or Glencullen Co Dublin I'd assume

    Some of the student accommodation around Belfield gets my vote.

    If you have a GIS package with a topo map and the Eircode database working it out should be fairly simple.

    Couple of houses near Oldbridge in Wicklow that are at about 340m. Depends what the OP means by a house too, inhabited building? How about the TV transmitters on Kippure or Mount Leinster, 750m and 790m respectively.

    I mean a house where someone might live. I think Mount Leinster would be the highest paved road in Ireland.
    I would imagine that there would be no houses much above 400 meters.

    Strange for Carlow to claim an altitude record. Or maybe that part of the road is in Wexford.

    Nah, the road is in Carlow alright but the point is that there are buildings at both Mount Leinster & Kippure. And there are people in those buildings, I don't imagine they are staffed on a continuous basis but reckon that staff do overnight in them. Maybe someone else knows.

    Some years ago there was much discussion about Ireland's highest pub. I can only recall that one in Bweeng, Co. Cork was mentioned.

    Always thought it was this one and that they stopped Johnny Foxes claiming it in their ads. Between Coolea and Kilgarvan just inside the Kerry border.
