Life
Iomar of the Sogain is a very obscure saint of the fifth or sixth century, linked to Killimorsogan (Cill Íomar Soghain, 'the church of Íomar of the Sogain'), now the townlands of Killaghaun and Lisheen in County Galway; the name was used until the eighteenth century. In the diocese of Clonfert there are two more churches with a similar name, but their relation to him is uncertain: it is not known whether one person founded them or three of the same name.
