Life
Cormac mac Ceithearnach, who died in 881, was prior of Terryglass and Clonfert and at the same time a lay lord over part of the land of Loch Riach in Ireland. The lake lay in the territory of Máenmag, ruled by the Ui Fiachrach Finn; the town of Loughrea takes its name from it. Nothing else is preserved. The sources found show no veneration as a saint.
