Life

Holy Hierarch Diarmaid of Airthear Muighe is commemorated on 16 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a son of Meachair, bishop of Airthear Muighe in Tuaith Ratha. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
