Life

The entry for 18 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal names Eimhin. A bracketed note says Maelruain of Rath is in the Felire of Oengus on this day. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known; the veneration is local and early Irish, without synodal canonization.

Commemorated the same day December 18
