Life
Laisren of Cloonkerrill may be the saint Laisrén or Molaissi of the Soghain, whose pedigree makes him a close relative of Kerrill, Molua of Kilmoluagh and Cuana of Kilcoonagh, all evangelists in the kingdom of the Soghain, in what is now central-east County Galway. He would have lived in the late fifth or early sixth century. His name seems to survive in the placename Laisrend, no longer extant, in the parish of Clonkeen.
