Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Donnan under 11 August (old style). The editors think he is probably Donnan the deacon, son of Beoaidh and brother of Ciaran of Cluain mic Nois. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, since no life or deeds survive, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
