Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Fionntainn of Fochuillich under 18 July (old style). The text calls him a priest. His mother was Eioghnach, sister of Finnian. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. No further details survive; the veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
