When did Saint Patrick convert the pagans of Ireland to become Christians?

What animals did St. Patrick drive out of Ireland?

Patrick supposedly drove all the saints out of Ireland. The job was quite easy as scientists say that snakes have never existed in that country. The word snakes is symbolic for the pagan Druid gods that Patrick "drove" out of Ireland by converting the country to Christianity.
That is the existing folklore. However, the scientific explanation is that only two or three species made it back into post-glacial Britain (across a land bridge), and none apparently crossed a similar bridge to Ireland, one that disappeared more quickly than the Europe-Britain bridge. All sorts of other animals either crossed or were later introduced by humans. Invasive species of snakes released in Ireland (accidentally or otherwise) have no made any great inroads into the ecosystem.
he did not chase all the snakes out of Ireland snakes represented pagons so he chased all the pagons out of Ireland
That is just a myth.
Snakes
Legend has it that he drove out all the snakes, in Christianity the snake is a symbol of the devil.
St. Patrick was said to have driven all snakes from Ireland.
Legend says that Patrick removed all the snakes from Ireland. It was quite an easy job for him as there is no fossil record of snakes ever living in Ireland. The snakes are symbolic for the Druid gods that Patrick "removed" from Ireland by converting the people to Christianity
Legend has it that St Patrick cursed the snakes and drove them out of Ireland. He also effectivly removed the pagan culture converting nearly all of Ireland to Christianity.
According to legend, St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.
According to tradition, St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland.

However, this is a pure legend. There never were any snakes in Ireland to drive out. Scientists can find no evidence that snakes have ever lived there as far back as the end of the last ice age - over 10,000 years ago. The term snake probably refers to the pagan gods of the Druids who lived in Ireland at the time of St. Patrick. He converted them to Catholocism so, in a sense, drove the pagan gods (snakes) out of Ireland.
