Not sure that they’re antennae, seems Mizen Head operated fog signals from 1909, a radio beacon from 1931 www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/mizen-head.aspx

i suspect that what we can see are not antennae but supports for the actual antennae, which would be in the form of long wires, required for the longer wavelengths which would be all that was available in the early 20th century..I no longer think this. -
