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. -

... Every year keepers had to paint the lantern inside and out, the gallery, gates, iron fences, gutters and downpipes, oil tanks and flagstaffs.

The cottage also had to be maintained in ship-shape condition as unannounced inspections were regular as well as the annual Commissioners’ inspection. The keepers were provided with an allowance of eight tons of Scotch coal or seven tons of English coal every year. The keeper here could have expected to earn 3 shillings per day in 1905. ...

I'd be thinking the the lady should be destined for the Royal College of Surgeons, either to repair her bones or to put her under Bergin's microscope to see if she's been photoshopped! Although not clear to us there may be path which runs down the left of picture and even to the rocks below. In all events any woman living here would surely be confident of her way around.
