Laisrén is the subject of both a Latin and an Irish ''Life'', which offer loose narratives in which a number of miscellaneous anecdotes and miracles have been grouped together. Background on Laisrén and Devenish Laisrén is chiefly known as the founder of a monastery at Devenish, Irish ''Daim-inis ''(lit. 'Ox-island'), which was also home to his cult soon after his death.
