" ... An aerial hoist on the rock over the south landing was erected during 1906-07. Incandescent apparatus using vaporised paraffin burnt in a mantle replaced the multi-wick oil burner in March 1909.

beachcomber australia Only mention of a hoist, so 1906-1907 looks good, thank you.

“Inishtearaght (Inis Tiaracht) is one of the Blasket Islands and is probably the only Irish lighthouse that ordinary Joe Soaps like you and me will never get a glimpse of. This is a shame because it is one of the great lighthouses of the south-west of Ireland. But alas, it is a long way out, the lighthouse is on the far side of the island and no boats go out that far.
It is of course, Ireland's most westerly lighthouse”

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. -
