Life

Dinir of Eanach-⁠Eir is a saint named on 19 May in the Irish calendars. The Martyrology of Tallaght enters the name Dinir Enaig, the Franciscan copy gives a slightly different spelling, and the Bollandists write Durus de Enach. The Martyrology of Donegal shows that on this day a commemoration was held for Dinir of Eanach-⁠Eir. There are many places in Ireland called Enach or Enagh, so the place cannot be determined. The day follows the Julian calendar. No other details have been preserved. He is honoured in the Irish calendars, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
