Ireland has NO snakes as the climate is to cold for this kind of species.
Of course it is said that St. Patrick banished all the snakes from Ireland, but this is only a romantic myth.
There are no snakes in the fair isle.

As many people said, St Patrick is alleged to have driven out all snakes from Ireland (you might know that the snake/serpent was an evil animal according to the Old Testament of the Bible - it talked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit).
But what did St Patrick say as he drove the snakes out?

Hello,
I am a nomadic Irishman, and for the best part of 50 years I have been back and to to Ireland for Holidays to be with my family, and twice a year for all those years, it's been How're Ya to all my family and friends at Home in Galway, Clare Connemara, and Roscommon, usually followed by " Have yers seen any snakes?", and not one time did any of my beloveds ever said "yes", so I am happy to tell you, that if you go to the many places I have been to, for what must be over a hundred trips, then you should be alright.....
And over Connemara, many times I was under canvas, with just a flash light for my personal safety, I have asked my wife too, has she ever seen a snake anywhere we have been in Ireland, and she said No, so there you are then, Proof positive... there aren't any of the little chuffers any where in my truly beloved country, Heaven Bless the Good, and Holy, St. Patrick. You relax now and have a wonderful time...... Tony M

Saint Patrick banished all snakes from Ireland but I think that he missed a few - they are now called politicians............
(There are no natural snakes in Ireland).

Only two-legged ones who work as consultants!
Legend has it that St Patrick removed them all, and whilst there may not be too many being spotted, there is always the outside chance that snakes held in captivity can escape from time to time.

No, there are no snakes in Ireland. There are also no snakes in New Zealand and Antarctica. Hawaii only has water snakes (no land dwelling snakes).
