Life
On 4 May (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Cronan of Munster. He is called son of Cummain, of Sliabh Ebhlinne in Munster. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
