Let's say someday the government announces the Seven Wonders of Ireland (which I think they should imo, a public vote :P), what do you think would/should be in it?

For me:
1. Cliffs of Moher
2. Glendalough
3. Newgrange
4. The Skelligs
5. Giant's Causeway
6. Blarney Castle
7. Marble Arch Caves/Ailwee Caves, can't decide my 7th

No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
