Benbulbin or Ben Bulben as it may also be called is I declare Ireland's Mount Rushmore. Tah-dah. Applause. Thanks. So AH. Propose a proposal to give this rock a facelift. Photoshop or MS Paint use will gain much respect among your peers here. Perhaps the face of our great leader Enda Kenny could be hewn from this Sligo…

Battered Mars Bars are extremely bad for you.

If you're going to dash someones head against a rock, this prick should be first.

I think what battered mars bar is trying to say is, due its its shape, Benulben, could have Irish Leaders faces carved into it.

On the other hand, he may just have had one too many of the fore mentioned greasy snacks.

Au contrare mon petit mint. I'm looking for suggestions. Doesn't have to be leaders. Could be Bono or Dustin.

I don't actually remember the Brits Out slogan but the latter H-Block that stands out for me coming home on the bus from somewhere in Donegal.
