- In olden times before St. Patrick came to Ireland, this country was abounding with serpents and other wild animals. I heard a story being told not far from my home of a man who was taking a short cut from Ballycrovane to CastletownBere, and was attacked by a serpent. He was taken home, but died after a short time. This was only one instance of the many which occurred during that time. The people were always in danger when passing through certain places of being attacked or injured. Then came St. Patrick who banished serpents, and other wild animals from our country.
