Life

Saint Coiningean of Cill Cuillinn is listed on 29 April (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. Donegal says she was a pupil of Mac Tail of Cill Cuillinn, and that because of her the clergy of Leinster denounced him. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght, Gorman's martyrology and the Félire of Óengus. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.

Commemorated the same day April 29
