There is a well known legend has it that St. Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland, well believe it if you like. The story goes that sometime back in the fifth century he stood on the mountain that is now 'Cragh Patrick' (about 10kms from Westport) and used a staff to drive the slimy little things into the sea.

There maybe no snakes in Ireland but - there were probably never any snakes in Ireland.

It has more to do with the vagaries of geography than any little miracles performed by St. Paddy.
