Laisren Of Cloonkerrill
Laisren of Cloonkerrill may be the St Laisrén or Molaissi of the Soghain, whose pedigree is given as ''"Laisren mac Colmain mac Luchtai mac Findcha mac Feidlimti mac Sogain mac Fiacha Araide."'' This would make him a close relative of Kerrill, Molua of Kilmoluagh and Cuana of Kilcoonagh, all of whom were active Evangelism, evangelists in the Soghain kingdom located in what is now central-east County Galway. This would place Laisren as living in the late fifth or early sixth centuries. His name seems to have been perpetuated in the placename ''Laisrend'', no longer extant but apparently located in the parish of Clonkeen.

An Ogham inscription discovered near Aglish in the barony of East Muskerry, some twelve miles west of the city of Cork, displays the words ''MUCOI SOGINI'', which probably means "of the Corcu Sogain". * The Soghain of Connacht were located in central east ...
