 St. Conal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
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".
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.

 Photographs of Kilconnell Friary taken on May 6th 2002.
While numerous church properties were closed down following the Protestant Reformation (which began in the early1500's), Kilconnell Friary is unusual in that it held out for longer than many others; and, it even managed to successfully defend itself against an attack by soldiers from Lord Oliver Cromwell's Army in 1651.
In all probability, the wealthy Catholics who normally provided financial support (and physical protection) for Kilconnell Friary and its occupants up to that time were either killed in the very decisive Battle of Aughrim (Ireland's "Gettysburg"), or, they left Ireland shortly afterwards because they did not wish to live under the new arrangements.
(from one of William Shakespeare's poems) is almost certainly a reference to the demise of church properties such as Kilconnell Friary in the wake of the Reformation - which Shakespeare himself would have witnessed in England during the second half of the1500's, and the early years of the 1600's.

Unfortunately, I am one of several (I suspect) inclined to believe the final result was, in all probability, decided long before the hearing took place.
Though I tried hard at one point during the meeting (yesterday morning) to establish whether the "bribery is not relevant to this hearing" type comments from the Bord Pleanala Inspector (Mr Robert Ryan) were simply his own personal view, or, the official view of Bord Pleanala, I am none the wiser at present.

Presenting the case at Kilconnell, Patrick Connolly —an employee of the McInerneys of Barnvihill—  gave an insight into the herdsmen’s mentality: their sense of the venerability of their occupation; their conscientiousness as employees; their aspirations towards respectability:
Our wages and freedoms were then just the same as now, when we must pay the tailor, the shoemaker and the hatter three times the amount and the cost of provisions has increased in greater proportion.
And sectarian tensions were not eased by Ashtown’s behaviour: in the opinion of one of his allies, he was ‘an obstinate determined man without any tact, [who] talks too much and too openly about his employees and what he thinks of them, and [who] will listen to no advice’.
