Life
Saint Cruaidh Long-Legs of Balana is commemorated on 26 October (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. He is the Cruaidh whom Moling called to his aid, with other saints of Ireland, when King Fionnachta's household came to kill him over the remission of the Borumha tribute. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
