I contacted Mourne Lodge about parking and received this email:

Thank you for this. You can park in our car park and please close the gate afterwards. The cost for the overnight will be £5 per car. Hope this is acceptable. We would take your registration number etc and if you do not see anyone at the centre you can leave the £5 in an envelope with your details in the red letter box. This is checked 2 or 3 times a day and we can pick this up. It would be good if you would let us know in advance. This weekend we have a large group coming to stay so the park may be busy but I’m sure you will find a spot. We never have any trouble with cars so I hope all will be ok for you.

So it's fine to park there but is £1 more expensive than Meelmore Lodge.

Did you not ask for a NI-Wild Discount  ;)

To be fair though Slievenaglogh is not Snowdon.
