Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Holy Hierarch Cairnech on 28 March (Old Style), as a bishop. A note also mentions a Cairnech, son of Saran, of the line of Colla-⁠da-⁠Chrioch. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration rests on the Irish tradition, without synodal canonization, and the sources say no more.

Commemorated the same day March 28
