Life

Saint Duileach of Clochar is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.

The Donegal text places his church, Clochar-⁠Duiligh, south of Faeldruim in Fine Gall, beside Sord Coluim Cille. He was of the race of Conmac, son of Fergus, son of Ross, son of Rudhraighe.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 17 November. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.

No further details of his life survive in the sources consulted.
