Life
On 16 May (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Venerable Odhran, as a priest. The History of the Saints calls him son of Beoaedh and brother of Ciaran of Cluain, a noble priest. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
