Snakes!

NO SNAKES!!!!

And Saint Patrick had nothing to do with it, it was the fact that the Ice Age ended and the sea levels rose before the snakes actually made it across to where Ireland is now.

We used have a big export industry of snake oil. It was a subsidiary
of the Doc Haliday Corp. Tombstone Enterprises as the Irish facility was called. was, at the time, the Flagship of the blossoming IDA
(Irish Industrial Development Authority} Pharmaceutical industry complex.
Sad to relate. but when the Taoiseach was at the shamrock ceremony at the White House (this was on TIME magazine) someone (probably educated) noted the shamrocks were poisonous to snakes.and the snake oil was contaminated with dioxins caused by misadventure in a Carlow snake food processing plant
Ordinarily this would be a very unpatriotic thing to say but as fact would have it, all the snakes were indeed dying and there were none left to slaughter. The Department of Agriculture & Food were very disappointed because they like mass slaughtering to get kudos from their fellow gravy boaters in Brussels .
ABOUT Patrick, he brought the Shamrock to Ireland and banished the MONGOOSES (nearly)

Yes, There was a man named Mr. Patrick (orginally his name was hattrick) as he made things disappeared but changed over the years to Patrick, like st.nicholas became santa , anyway back in the early 20th century the country was covered in pie shops and chips shops, Mr patrick or hattrick made all the pie shops,dissappear but I don't think that bit about the Chips is true. If you drive around Ireland it would be very rare that you would find a pie shop, but the place is rappant with chip shop. Hope that helps

Don't tell my boss I'm on here

Yes quite true, snacks were banned years ago, thanks to this, we Irish are slimmer, fitter, and healthier than any country in the world.

1. It's snakes.

2. He did in my hole, can you say BS.

3. That's not as funny as you think.

Snakes -- not "snacks" -- gees.

And there ain't none in Ireland -- except the one-eyed kind.

There be plenty of meat pies in Ireland, though. But if you ask
for "chips", you'll get French Fries. Unless you speak in
a thick American accent and ask for "potato chips".... dah.

Which in British English are "crisps".... Tally Ho!

But, I assume you were simply pulling me leg?

Good for a laugh.....

..ROXY..sheila from oz..

SillySally

Very funny...

Just in case there is anyone reading this that is easily led...

There are no SNAKES in Ireland. According to the Christian story, St. Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. In fact, the real reason that there are no snakes here has something to do with the Ice Age. I'm not sure of the details. St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate his feast day on March 17th.

Also, what you call chips, we call crisps (or Taytos more commonly...from the original brand of potato crisps in this country, similar to the way we call a vacum cleaners a Hoover and a pen a BIro) and what we call chips, you call french fries.

Ok, yer man was wrong when he told you that there were no snacks in Ireland, we have a wide variety. He should have said snakes, as the legend is that Saint Patrick, the man credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, drove out all the snakes. It is thought that he didn't actually drive out any snakes, he stopped the people believing in the Pagan gods, one of whom was represented by a serpent. Somewhere along the way the serpent god was confused with a snake.

St patrick was a English boy,taken slave by the Irish.

Tid

St. Patrick of Assis (think thats the spelling), and he banished the snakes from Ireland. He's our Patron saint, hence St. Patricks day. And yes, we have loads of 'chips' or as we call it, tayto's and pies.
