Life

On 29 May (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Venerable Commain of Daire Inghen Aillen, as a virgin. Donegal places her in Ard Uladh or in Dal Buinne in Ulster, of the line of Fiatach Finn, monarch of Ireland. The same name also appears in the Félire of Óengus. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
