Life

Holy Hierarch Diarmait is commemorated on 12 October (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 bishop; the text mentions a Diarmait son of Baedan, of the race of Laeghaire son of Niall, without saying for certain that he is the same. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.

Commemorated the same day October 12
