Although there were no snakes in Ireland, the snakes that are probably referred to, are those of a spiritual nature, let's say. These snakes are called Nagas, which supply water to trees, and make the rivers and streams flow. If you harm a tree while one of these Nagas are in the tree you will be harmed, in the form of a skin problems or even cancer, among other things. I know this from my travels to Asia and studying things like Buddhism, Taoism, etc and learning the true interaction between man and nature. Christians have really lost a lot of knowledge of how to be virtuous and what it takes to go to heaven.
