Life
Venerable Donnan of Iriis Aingin is commemorated on 7 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a priest of Iriis Aingin on Loch Ribh; the Life of Ciaran of Cluain says he was the son of Senan's brother and came to Ciaran on the island of Inis Angin. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
