Life
Saint Cronan Balnae (Cronan of Balla) died in 692, according to the Annals of the Four Masters. He appears to have been a successor of Saint Mo Chua of Balla (died 637), founder of the monastery of Balla; a scholar, Nollaig Ó Muraíle, seems to identify him with Mo Chua himself. Our source says no more of his life and gives no feast day.
