I couldnt help but wonder, even with the convenience of Google, just how many of you actually knew who he was!

Yes, and he is the patron saint of Ireland, he was largely responsible for Ireland becoming Catholic
Funny how a day named after a Catholic Saint became what it is

Ah, thanks. It's ben puzzling me for days - I knew he wasn't from Ireland, but couldn't remember where he was from. I DID know that St David, Patron Saint of Wales, was actually from Ireland.
Wonder where St Andrew (Patron Saint of Scotland) was from...
Seems like you can't be a saint in your own home town, eh?

Yes I knew that and I have seen a documentary about how he was exiled to Ireland.
