Going to probably get some pelters on here , but historically st Patrick was a briton who was captured by the Irish after the romans left and was forced to become a slave in Ireland . He helped convert Ireland into Christianity

So you could actually question the Irish ness of the day when it’s actually celebrating a briton . Much like people on here and beyond love to point out St George wasn’t actually English

When I lived in Barcelona the went for At George's day harder than we did. Given he's the oatorn saint of Catalonia too it's no surprise. Saints can be shared. Thanks @Norman_Conquest I didn't know that about Montserrat

I've always had an interest in Montserrat due to my great grandfather coming from there in the early 1900's.

I always wondered why you would leave a beautiful Caribbean island and settle in South Bank.
