Life

Saint Colman of Magh n Eo is listed on 21 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, with the note "leper". He is called Colman Lobhar, "the Leper", of Magh n Eo in Dal gCais. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology and the Félire of Óengus. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
