no, it is not true.

But we have this GOLDEN LEGEND in Our Catholic Church!

Why Ireland Has No SnakesLegend has it that St. Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. Sometime back in the fifth century he stood on a hill, the story goes, and used a staff to herd the slithering creatures into the sea, banishing them for eternity. It's true, aside from zoos and pets, there are no snakes on the emerald isle. In fact, there never were any snakes in Ireland.
