Strictly speaking of method, the protestants arrived in Ireland due to an unrelated conquest by the Earl of Pembroke a few centuries earlier, causing unfortunate relations between the English and the Irish. Later, when King Henry VIII declared Protestant secession from the church of Rome, the warring between Ireland and England became a matter of protestants vs Catholics.
Others had tried to introduce Christianity to Ireland before Saint Patrick but with little success. When Patrick arrived in about the year AD432 he had much success converting the Druids, quite possibly because he had lived there as a youth and was familiar with the language and culture.
It is said to have come to Ireland with St. Patrick in 432 AD. That is why St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and St. Patrick's Day, the 17th of March, is Ireland's national holiday.
