St Paddy or St Nick?

St Paddy or St Nick?
My (French) friends are adamant that this is St Nicholas since Christmas is coming along soon and all, but I still think this is St Patrick. So whose chocolate sculpture do you think this is?
And whoever this sculpture is has got to eat less sweet stuff – the teeth are falling out! :p

well, unless this sculpture was on an Irish stand, it’s likely it wasn’t St Patrick, don’t you think?
myeh… the iconography is an important factor :p
