St Patrick didn't drive all the snakes out of Ireland

Legend has it that St Patrick banished snakes from Ireland, but a Cork man recently found evidence to the contrary when he spotted one slithering alongside the tracks near Kent Station.

Colm Twohig was out walking with a colleague when he came across the snake. It is thought to be a non-venomous escaped family pet.
