Life
The Martyrology of Donegal names Saint Ronan Finn of Lann Ronain Finn on 22 May (Old Style). Donegal places him in Ui Eachach Uladh, of the line of Colla-da-chrioch. The tale says King Suibhne of Dal Araidhe dragged him out of the church where he was praising God and threw his Psalter into water; Ronan cursed him, and Suibhne went mad, as the Buile Shuibhne tells. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght, Gorman's martyrology and the Félire of Óengus. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
