Eochair at 191 m is while not literally the tallest is perhaps the greatest mountain in the Connemara and even some would say the world (see Liam Lang). It is characterised by it's magnificent unyielding west face which is often mentioned alongside other great mountain faces such as the Eiger Nordwand, Annapurna's South Face and Nanga Parbat's Rupal Face.
