So Northern Ireland has no claim to Saint Patrick it seems. This is despite that he is buried in Northern Ireland, he was British and he lived at Swedish mountain in Co. Antrim.

Stonehenge... one of the seven wonders of the world, with a major road running past it, a car park and having to pay for the privilege of actually getting close to a few upturned rocks in a field and very little else. If I was a foreign tourist I would be disappointed, especially when I realised they weren't the only ones in the UK... definitely oversold! |

Almost 1500 years later Northern Ireland was formed , so it was Ireland with the green flag and he was welsh with gypsy heritage..

Good answer but you've qualified one point yourself, gypsy heritage or not, still born in Britain, 1500 years ago. In actual fact, according to an Irish history website, he was born near Dumbarton in Scotland. |

Patrick was born at the end of Roman rule in Britain. His birthplace is not known with any certainty; some traditions place it in what is now England—one identifying it as Glannoventa (modern Ravenglass in Cumbria). |

Two Grand Slams, both beating England teams, in two days. Couldn't give a monkeys where Patrick was from, he came to Ireland and became our national Saint for what he did here, unlike British rule, who specifically took food out of Ireland during the famine.
Stick the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam in your faces!
