Life

Saint Nuadha of Cluain Eois is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as an abbot.

The Donegal text calls him a son of Dubhsleibhe.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 2 December. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.

The sources consulted record nothing more about him.
