(Or Conall).

An Irish bishop who flourished in the second half of the fifth century and ruled
over the church of Drum, County Roscommon, the place being subsequently named
Drumconnell, after St. Conal. Colgan and his copyists inaccurately locate his
church at Kilconnell in County Galway, but is is now certain that the church of
which St. Conal was bishop was south of Boyle, and, as a matter of fact, the
saint is known as "Blessed Conal of Drum". The error of ascribing Kilconnell and
Aughrim, County Galway, as foundations of St. Conal can also be dissipated by a
reference to the life of St. Attracta, wherein it is recorded that she came to
the neighbourhood of Boyle in order to build a cell near the church of her
uterine brother, St. Conal, but was dissuaded from her project by St. Dachonna
of Eas Dachonna, now Assylin, at the bidding of the saint. We read that St.
Attracta prophesied that the episcopal churches of St. Conal (Drumconnell) and
St. Dachonna (Eas Dachonna) would in after days be reduced to poverty, owing to
the fame of a new monastic establishment. This prophecy was strikingly
fulfilled, inasmuch as Drum and Assylin soon after ceased to be episcopal sees,
while in 1148 the great Cistercian Abbey of Boyle was founded St. Conal died
about the year 500, and his feast is celebrated on 18 March, though some assign
9 February as the date.
