  Fáelán mac Colmáin (died 666) was a King of Leinster from the Uí Dúnlainge branch of the Laigin.
  He was the son of Colmán Már mac Coirpri, a previous king.
  Faelan was the founder of the true fortunes of the Ui Dunlainge dynasty.
  His son by Sarnat was Conall mac Fáelán, who was father, by Conandil ingen Crundmáel of the Ui Dunlainge, of Bran Mut mac Conaill (died 693), a king of Leinster.
  
  Fáelán mac Colmáin married Conall mac Suibni's sister Uasal ingen Suibni (died 643).

  Frequently called "foster-son of Coemgen" of Glendalough. Thereby hangs a tale which is found in the LIves of ST Coemgen and also of St Berach, a Connaught man. He has no connection whatsoever to do with the Ui Dunlainge. He is represented as on a visit to Coemgen when the events in the story took place. Both Lives narrate that Faelan was placed as a small child under Coemgen's protection against evil spirits, or against the hate of a step-mother, Cainech, They both describe attempts on Faelan's life by witchcraft and the death of the wicked step-mother. The story might well be pure imagination, but the facts in the genealogies suggest a foundation of truth. Feidhelm must have died circa 570-574 as Colman had another wife, Cummine, before his death in 576. Faelan, judging by the date of his own death, can only have been a baby at the time. It would have been natural for Colman, seeing his wife's jealousy, to send the child, not merely to a foster-father of the Ui Dunlainge, but to a great saint living in the territory of Feidhelm's own family. This was a double protection. The danger must have been very serious. It evidently impressed the public mind as the compilers of St Berech's Life included it as a principal item of his visit to Coemgen. In the story the step-mother, Cainech, perishes at Coemgen's command. In the genealogies of our text she is "Cumne" or Cummine" and lives to marry again. This did not point so good a moral and doubtless the compiler of Coemgen's Live felt bound to improve on it. This however, does not alter the fact that from two sources we can construct an incident of Ui Dunlainge history. [Women of the Ui Dunlainge]
