Life

Corbmac ua Liathain appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 21 June (old style). The text calls him an abbot. He is described as a successor of Colum Cille, and a later hand adds that he was also an anchorite. Colum Cille is said to have foretold him in a poem. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
