Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Venerable Maclaisre on 16 May (Old Style); the year of repose given is 645. Donegal calls him abbot of Bennchor. No other calendar consulted has an entry for this name. No other secure details survive, and veneration remains local, without synodal canonization.
