Life

Holy Hierarch Mac Neissi is commemorated on 3 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. He is called bishop of Coindeire (Connor); his mother was Ones, daughter of Comhcaidhi of the Dal Ceithirn. His first name was Aenghus, and another name of his was Caemhan Breac. The text gives the year 614 for his repose, which the editor corrects to 514. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.

Commemorated the same day September 3
