    St Patrick is the patron saint of Skerries. He lived on an Island about half a mile outside Skerries. He built a church in the middle of the Island. The ruins are to be seen yet. St Patrick is supposed to have kept a goat on the Island. One night some Skerries people went over and ate his goat. The next day St Patrick missed his goat. He asked a man did he see his goat and the man said no. This man had eaten part of the goat and it cried out "ma, ma"
