Life
Saint Duinseach of Gill Duinsighe is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as a virgin.
The Donegal text places Gill Duinsighe in Uladh and says she has three churches there.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates her on 11 December. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
The sources consulted record nothing more about her.
