Life

Saint Maine son of Eoghan is commemorated on 24 November (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. He is called a son of Eoghan; a note suggests Maine son of Eichin, of the race of Eoghan son of Niall. Little else is known, and the veneration is that of the undivided Church.
