Life

Holy Hierarch Colman of Doire Mor is listed on 20 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. A comment calls him a bishop, son of Daire, of the blood of the kings of Munster, with Doire Mor on the border of Munster and Leinster, in the territory of Eile. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology and the Félire of Óengus. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
