Life
On 17 August (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Ernan of Torach. The text gives the race of Eoghan, son of Niall. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.
