Life

Saint Cuan appears on 15 October (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. The editor thinks this is Cuan of Cluain Mor, who went with Moling to ask the remission of the Borumha tribute for Leinster. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.

Commemorated the same day October 15
