An Irish bishop honored at Waterford, commemorated in the Martyrology of Tallaght.
Life
Saint Odhran of Waterford is an Irish bishop venerated at Waterford and named in the Martyrology of Tallaght. The sources found give no details of his life.
The Orthodox England calendar commemorates on 27 October an Odhran (Otteran), an abbot from Meath who went to Scotland with Saint Columba, was the first to repose on Iona, and is the main patron of Waterford. It is not clear whether the two are the same person; Irish names of this kind are often mixed up.
