Life
Saint Colman son of Eochaidh is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.
The compiler of the Donegal text suggests that he may be Colman of Gill Cleitigh, son of Eochaidh, of the line of Aenghus, son of Nadfraech, king of Munster.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 6 September. 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.
No further details of his life survive in the sources consulted.
