Saint Ciarán mac Luaigne or Ciarán of Saigir (later anglicised to Kieran, Kyaranus in Latin) was an early Irish bishop and patron saint of Ossory, who was supposed to have flourished in the second half of the 5th century. He is also referred to as Ciarán the Elder (sen) in order to distinguish him from Ciarán of Clonmacnoise. He has been erroneously identified with the Saint Piran who is venerated in Cornwall, Wales and Brittany.
