Life
Saint Ballast Forgaill of Maighin is commemorated on 29 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal. He was of Maighin, of the race of Colla Uais, and his real name was Eochaidh, son of Colla. The martyrology says he composed the praise poem Amhra Choluim Chille for Columba and a shorter one for Seanan of Inis Cathaigh; he was buried at Inis Caoil. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
