Saint Conal was a fifth-century bishop from Ireland who presided over the church at Drum in County Roscommon. He was the brother of Attracta, a woman who reportedly predicted that the episcopal status of his church and that of St. Dachonna would eventually decline due to the rise of a prominent new monastic institution. Following his leadership, the location of his church was renamed Drumconnell to honor his memory.
