Life

Saint Faoileann daughter of Aedh is commemorated on 3 March (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. She is called a daughter of Aedh and sister of Colga, of Cill Colgan at Athcliath Meadhraighe in Connacht, of the race of Dathi son of Fiachra; their mother was Cuillenn. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
