Life
The Seven Bishops of Cluain Cua are commemorated on 3 October (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal. They were the children of one father, of the race of Fiacha Suighdhe son of Feidhlimidh Reachtmhar; the text refers to 21 July. Little else is known of their lives, and the undivided Church keeps their names.
