Life

On 26 October (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Gael. The text calls her a virgin and joins her with other virgins, said to be four daughters of Mac Iaar of Cill na nInghen, beside Tamhlacht in the south. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.

Commemorated the same day October 26
