Patrick is generally acknowledged as being the most important figure in bringing Christianity to Ireland, and this is dated to the fifth century (some put it early, others late in that century).
During the period of the progressive collapse of Roman-based civilisation in the West (which can probably be fairly dated to fifth and sixth centuries AD), the Christian scriptures were preserved from destruction in that region through their retention and copying in Christian monasteries.
Monasticism developed in Ireland in the late fifth century, and the monasteries there would have shared in the practice, followed elsewhere, of the monks preserving and copying the scriptures.
