yes its true. following the withdrawing of the glaciers during the last ice age across Europe, many non-ice living animals migrated from the warmer regions as the ice left. The Islands of Britain and Ireland were populated by less species than mainland northern Europe and Ireland by many less than Britain. Moles are another example that made it to Britain but could not cross to Ireland.
It is interesting that mankind didnt reach Ireland until this time either.

No, it is not true. There are both Catholic and Protestant snakes in Ireland. No, I'm sorry. It is wrong to compare snakes to intolerant Christians. What did the snakes do to deserve such derision?
