The cache is at the posted coordinates. You MUST however first fulfill the logging condition for your log to qualify. Only logs physically made after completion of the condition are valid.

You will need to have collected the cumulative height of Mt. Everest, 8848m, in Irish traditional caches that are placed over 800m high.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When logging on the webpage, you need to provide a list or bookmark list of qualifying caches that you have found along with a calculation showing that collected caches from the list have a summary elevation equal or bigger than 8848m, the elevation of Mt. Everest. You are free to lock your list by posting a note before actually going for the physical log. This lock does not expire until superseded by another lock created by yourself. This provision is to avoid disappointment due to archived caches.

As I haven't gotten to updating the below list of qualifying caches for some time now, it became dated.. Luckily, olalb, has created a checker on PROJEC-GC.
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3WK4P/43307
This checker seems to be working well, so I advise cachers to check it out before logging the challenge as found. In case the checker says you don't qualify, yet you think you do, feel free to contact me and log with your list explaining how you qualify and I will re-check..

This cache is dedicated to my dear friend and colleague Shay Lawless, who climbed the real Everest in May 2019 but then happened to stay on the mountain forever. RIP Shay

As finding out what caches are on the long list is not trivial, I am providing below a reasonably current list of qualifying caches (that will be periodically refreshed). Check the methodology section if you are in doubt..

=================================
Methodology: I am watching the area of 50km around Carrauntoohil, the area of 30km around Lugnaquilia, the area of 20km around Galty More, the area of 10km around Slieve Donard, and the area of 10km around Mweelrea. I assign to all caches either an elevation value obtained through the GSAK database or an elevation value obtained from another more reliable source, such as the cache owner report. @Cache Owners, if you think you own a cache that is placed in Ireland and is over 800m of elevation and is not included in the above list, please contact me. Also contact me in case you feel that the GSAK assigned elevation value of your hide is not correct, I will update the list with reliable manual readings. In my experience the GSAK number might be up to 10m of elevation off, so your hide might be missing if it is less than 10m above the mark. Also please note that we are talking the height relative to the reference geoid rather than the reference ellipsoid. For Ireland, the elevation values to be found on OSM are notably higher than the real topographic values, because of the relatively big geoid correction of ca 56m that is ignored on OSM.
