Life
Saint Coirpre of Cuil Raithin is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as a bishop.
The Donegal text calls him a son of Decill, son of Nadsluagh, of the race of Irial, son of Conall Cearnach.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 11 November. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
