Life
On 28 March (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Cassan of Lomdual. A note also mentions a Cassan, son of Athracht, of the line of Laeghaire, son of Niall. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. No other secure details survive, and veneration remains local, without synodal canonization.
