Life

On 31 July (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Colman son of Dairine. The text calls him a bishop. He was called son of Dairine because his mother Sant gave him to her childless sister Dairine to be raised. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.

Commemorated the same day July 31
