St Patricks Day Fact (tune in tomorrow for no5) 6. Legend says St. Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. According to legend, St. Patrick drove all the snakes, or in some translations, toads, out of Ireland. In reality, this probably did not occur, as there is no evidence that snakes have ever existed in Ireland, the climate being too cool for them to thrive. Despite that, scholars suggest that the term snakes may be figurative and refer to pagan religious beliefs and practices rather than reptiles or amphibians.
