The Ballybrack Dolmen.

"A megalithic tomb? I know, lets build a council estate around it!"

I go by this on a regular basis so I'm quite used to seeing it. Strange thing to see when you stop and look properly.

Giant's Causeway is pretty darn cool IMO. But would it count as it's not in the republic?

Been to the top of that, amazing that monks built it and then poured hot pitch down on invading vikings, theres a tunnel underndeath it that leads to a church nearby, clever monks tbh.

hot pitch may not be true but vikings must have been really small as the stairs is only 3 feet off the ground.

They would have to be taken as group I think, (I'm an all or nothing guy I suppose) but the Martello towers along the coast could be good.
