Life
The Martyrology of Donegal names Mainchin under 29 December (old style). The editors take him to be probably Mainchin of Luimnech (Limerick), son of Sedna. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, since no life or deeds survive, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
