St. Patrick chasing the snakes out of Ireland is actually a thinly veiled tale of the new Christianity taking hold and chasing out the Goddess/Pagan culture that the people of Ireland had celebrated since time immemorial. The Goddess has always been represented by snakes (among other things).
And anyone who knows the Irish culture now will tell you that if you scratch the skin of any Irishman you will soon enough find a Pagan.
There's room enough for all in the Pantheon.
