Somehow Komoot has not flagged this. Komoot users are just going through the sign and enjoying their day with no respect for the land owner request.

Lugnaquilla Summit
Highlight • Summit
The classic loop route to Lugnaquilla that starts at the Glen of Imaal crosses the Glen of Imaal firing range in two places known as Route 1 and Route 2. Do not continue if you see red flags or flashing red lights anywhere. Plan ahead by checking the Irish Defence Forces website for the schedule:
military.ie/en/public-information/glen-of-imaal-walking-route-closures
You can also call the Army Information range at the Glen of Imaal on 045-404653.
Also do not stray from the designated path in view of any unexploded ordnance that may be laying about.
...apart from that enjoy your hike!
