St Lua

d c.609. Feast 4 Aug
Abbot and founder of Killaloe, Co. Clare.
According to Farmer almost nothing is known about him except he was a monk and possibly a hermit. The oratory associated with him on Friars Island was re-erected close to the RC Cathedral to save it from the 1929 Shannon hydro-electric scheme.
