Ireland vs. Wales

In the staff canteen at work, today’s special is a Welsh Breakfast.
So of course, I just had to ask, and get my suspicions confirmed.
Yes, some slack twat at the catering company that supplies/staffs the canteen has decided that St Patrick is – um – Welsh.
You just couldn’t make it up, could you?
(Added : Just to say, it’s been pointed out that St Patrick was quite possibly born in Wales. But I’m not going to let that get in the way of a good shaking-head post.)
An archaeological pedant writes: he was more likely born in Cumbria, or maybe south-west Scotland. Both of which were “Welsh” at the time, in that the local language was the ancestor of modern Welsh.
