And it is remarkable, that many of the Irish saints thus added to the Calendar, are saints be- longing to the diocese of Dublin. St. Fintan, of Howth; St. Begnet, of Dalkey; St. Dulech, or Doolagh, from whom the ancient church of St. Doolagli’s derives its name; St. Monoc, or Mohenog, of Mon- mohennock ; and St. Maignen, of Kilmainham. But a large number of Irish saints will be found to have formed a part of the original draft of the Calendar. Of these the following is a list: XVII. keye annuelment chescun Maresdye per ane, de sepmaine en sepmaine, et vn iour de faire cestassauere le iour de seyncte Begnet la virgine continnuaunt iii iours annuelment, &c.” r St. Dulech is mentioned in the Martyr- ology, see p.178. To this saint is dedicated a church of some antiquity, situated in the barony of Coolock, near Balgriffin, about sixmilesN. E.of Dublin. This place was an- ciently called Clochar, or Clocliar-Duiligh, as we learn from the Martyrology of Aen- gus, where St. Dulech is commemorated on the 17 th Nov. See also Colgan, Acta SS. p. 598 ; and Lanigan, vol. iii. p. 359. s St. Senoc, or Senog, commonly called Mo-Shenog [pron. Mo-Henog], i. e., my Senog, according to the Irish custom of expressing veneration for a saint, by pre- fixing the pronoun my. This St. Senog, or Mo-Henog, is the same as ITlo-Shenoj of Moghna Moshenog. To him are dedi- cated the churches of Ballaghmoone, and Monmohenock, alias Dunmanoge [i. e. the fort of St. Senog], which are now united in the Prebend of Monmohenock in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. See Mason’s St. Pa- trick’s, p. 65. 1 Maignend was abbot (it does not ap- pear that he was a bishop) of Kilmainham, near Dublin, which derives its name from him. He is said to have flourished about the year 606. Plis name occurs in the Martyrology of Aengus, at the 18th Dec. See also Colgan, Acta SS. p. 584 and 713. Gacianus, whose name occurs on the 18th Dec., is commemorated on the same day in the Roman Martyrology under the name of Gratianus.
