Who drove the snakes out of Ireland?
Pious legend attributes St. Patrick as the one who banished the snakes from Ireland. There is actually a folksong about this called "St. Patrick was a Gentleman":
"Saint Patrick was a gentleman, he came from decent people
In Dublin town he built a church and on it put a steeple
His father was a Callaghan, his mother was a Brady
His auntie an O'Shaughnessy, his uncle an O'Grady
"Then here's to bold St. Paddy's fist, he was a saint so clever
He gave the snakes and toads a twist and banished them forever
"There's not a mile in Eireann's isle where the dirty vermin musters
Where'er he put his dear forefoot, he murdered them in clusters
The toads went hop, the frogs went pop, slap dash into the water
And beasts committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter
"Then here's to bold St. Paddy's fist, he was a saint so clever
He gave the snakes and toads a twist and banished them forever
"The Wicklow hills are very high and so is the hill of Howth, sir
And there's a hill much bigger still, much higher than them both, sir
'Twas on the top of this high hill Saint Patrick preached his sermons
He drove the frogs into the bogs and banished all the vermins
"Then here's to bold St. Paddy's fist, he was a saint so clever
He gave the snakes and toads a twist and banished them forever
"No wonder that those Irish lads should be so gay and frisky
For sure Saint Pat, he taught them that, as well as making whiskey
No wonder that the saint himself should understand distilling
His mother kept a shebeen shop in the town of Enniskillen
"Then here's to bold St. Paddy's fist, he was a saint so clever
He gave the snakes and toads a twist and banished them forever
Then here's to bold St. Paddy's fist, he was a saint so clever
He gave the snakes and toads a twist and banished them forever!"

Do you need a passport to enter Ireland from Scotland?
Éire is the Irish language name for Ireland. Officially, citizens of the UK or Ireland don't need a passport to enter Ireland from the UK, but all other nationalities do. But you need some form of ID to prove you are an Irish or British citizen, and the only form of ID generally accepted are a drivers license or a passport. The drivers license must be a UK or Irish license and you must have been born in the UK or Ireland. This is because the drivers license doesn't state your citizenship, only your place of birth. To use it as evidence of citizenship, you have to have been born in either the UK or Ireland. Technically, only those born in the UK before 1983 can use their license to travel, this is because UK law was changed in 1983 and anyone born after this date is not guaranteed to be a citizen.
In short, you may enter Ireland from the UK without a passport if:
- You are a UK citizen, or
- You are an Irish citizen, and
- You are born in the UK before 1983 or in Ireland, and
- You have a full UK or Irish drivers license

What requirements do you need to have to get into the Irish Army?
That depends on different things. There are different levels you can go in on, and they would have different requirements. A recruit level applicant can go in with little educational requirements, but will still have to tests, including medical and fitness and get other clearances. There is an upper level of 24 for recruit level applicants. Cadets need to have at least second level qualifications if they are school leavers, so a good Leaving Cert is required. For those that have third level qualifications they need to have an Honours Degree in their discipline. An upper age limit of 27 applies. Apprentices need Junior Cert qualifications as a minimum. These are just a broad overview, and just for the army. Other parts of the defence forces would have their own requirements. For more on the army requirements, see the link below.
No, not really. Ireland now uses the Euro, since 2002. Éire still appears on the back of those coins. The Euro can be used in 18 different countries, and there are versions in each country, but any version can be used in any country. Before 2002 Ireland used pounds and pence, back to 1971. There are lots of those coins around. Prior to that it used pounds, shillings and pence, or what is still often referred to as "old money". Even coins of that era are still easy to find. So you would need to have a very old Irish coin for it to be of any great collector's value.

Time from Dublin Airport to Temple Bar Dublin?
At an absolute minimum, you might do it for €20. There are better options, as Dublin Airport is well served by buses which will bring you past Temple Bar for a far cheaper price. They might not bring you to exactly where you are going in Temple Bar, leaving you with a bit of a walk and you might have luggage, but it is a better option.
