Life

Colum son of Rianghal appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 1 August (old style). The text calls him a bishop. His mother was Darerca, sister of Patrick. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght. Nothing else is known; the veneration is local and early Irish, without synodal canonization.
