There are many Irish saints. However, Vergilius of Salzburg (700-784), St Malachy (1094-1148), St Lawrence O'Toole (1128-80) and St Oliver Plunkett (1625-81) are the only Irish saints to have been officially canonized. Most Irish saints date from before canonization was officially done, so they were done by local acclamation.

Where was St. Patrick canonized?
There was no formal canonization process in the Church during its first millennium. In the early years of the Church the title saint was bestowed first upon martyrs, and then upon individuals recognized by tradition as being exceptionally holy during their lifetimes. Consequently these Irish saints, including St. Patrick, were never actually formally canonized -- save one. The exception was Fergal, also known as St. Virgil of Salzburg, an 8th century missionary scholar who was officially canonized in 1233 by Pope Gregory IX. Virgil is one of only four Irish saints to be canonized by Rome.Extracted from and article By Ken ConcannonSpecial to the HERALD(From the issue of 3/21/02)There was no formal process for canonization in place when Patrick died. He was proclaimed a saint by opular acclaim, probably with the approval of a bishop. The official process for canonization did not come until about the 12th century.
