Mo Chutu of Lismore

Mo Chutu is the birthplace of Carthage, the man who became first Bishop and Patron of Lismore. He was born in County Kerry about 555, tended pigs near Castlemaine, and later founded churches, monasteries and a famous rule for monks. Jealousy and expulsion drove him from place to place until he reached Lismore, where he lived little more than two years before dying on 14 May 637.
