For other persons called Nath Í see Nath ÍSaint Nath Í or Crumnathy (fl. 6th century) was an early Irish saint who was remembered as the founder of Achonry. He is said to have been born in the barony of Leyney in present-day Co. Sligo. In the 17th century John Colgan compiled a Latin Life of St Cormac published in the Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae series which relates that Cormac left his native Munster for Connacht and arrived in the area of Leyney.
