The snakes deal is Paganism. Paganism is often represented as snakes, dragons, etc in early Christian artwork and "killing it" or "driving them out" is often a symbol of conversion to the Christian faith.

That makes sense since Satan took to the form of a serpent to persuade Adam and Eve. And since hes the epitome of evil, it makes sense that other biblically evil things would be symbolized by a snake as well.

A shamrock is a young sprig, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity. The name shamrock comes from Irish seamróg [ˈʃamˠɾˠoːɡ], which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair óg and simply means "young clover". Wikipedia

There is a lot of information left out. St. Patrick's day is a catholic holiday , so for long time catholics in Ireland were oppressed by the prostants. The flag of Ireland use to be all green. The current flag symbolizes the catholic and prostant ( orange) peace for most not all parts Ireland. Irish catholics were not allowed to own land , vote , participate in government, and many other things the prostants did to oppressed them.
