∙ 11y agoIn some instances, yes. Many were executed by the English authorities however and any Irish who assisted the Spanish were likely to be punished. Nevertheless there were instances where Irish chieftains and at least one bishop assisted the survivors.
Many survivors escaped to Scotland and thence to Spain. The wikipedia article 'Spanish Armada in Ireland' gives more specifics.

Why is the Spanish Armada important in history?
La Armada Espanola is the name for Spain's navy. It is an important part of Spain's strength in that it allows the country to defend itself at a distance from it's land mass. If you have to kill people and destroy things it is always more desirable to do so at a distance from your own country.
Why did the Spanish armada fail to beat the English?
The Spanish Armada lost the Battle of Gravelines for a variety of reasons including bad luck. The reasons that they lost the battle were they had the wind against them, a brand new commander with no experience and also worse tactics than the English. Their commander, the 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, had no qualifications to lead an armada. He alone could have lost this battle for the Spanish but they had even more things against them and these could be the worst of all. The thing that hurt the Spanish the most was their tactics and policy with their big guns or cannons. The Duke did not bring enough food with him for the journey. He also had poor maps. The Spanish only fired their cannons maybe two or three times a day and only when the the were right along side of an English ship; while the English shot theirs so much that they were constantly running out of ammunition. The Spanish didn't believe it necessary to teach their men how to load a cannon after it was fired. The wind played a powerful part in this battle. It wreaked havoc on the large Spanish ships, while hardly affecting the smaller, more mobile English ships. Eventually, many of the Spanish ships wound up on the coast of Scotland, and Ireland, where people came down to the shores to kill the soldiers and burn the ships. The Spanish had bad luck and poor weather. The Spanish were sighted off Lizard Point on the 29th of July really gave the English an advantage.

What was the Spanish armarda about?
When Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne she refused to marry the king of Spain. So he planned to attack the Queen and kill her so that he could rule England and Spain. The king of Spain left with his armada (lots of ships) and headed towards England. The queen had already known he was going to attack this is why she had beacons set alight to alert the queen. The duke of Medina was in charge of the armada but he didn't have any experience with the sea. Also, know the queen had received the message from her beacons she sent fire ships towards the armada, fire ships were ships with flammable objects and were set on fire. Not to mention the wind had blown the Armada's off track so the Duke of medina was unable to lead his ships in the correct direction at the correct time. in the end the armada was a big fail, mainly because the wind had blown them off course which gave the English a chance to take advantage and attack the Spanish in order for them to leave. I Hope I Helped. :) !

What are the historical accuracies in elizabeth the golden age?
The war as depicted in the movie, Elzabeth the Golden Age was not entirely accurate. Elizabeth did not ride into battle with her troops. She addressed them eloquently before battle with the Spanish, but would never have been placed directly on the battle lines. Also, in the movie Sir Walter Raleigh lead England into battle with the Spanish Armada. In reality, Raleigh had no role in this famous event.
