Life

Venerable Odhran is commemorated on 27 October (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght, the Felire of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called abbot of Ia (Iona) and of Tigh Airerain in Meath, of the race of Conall Gulban son of Niall. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
