Life

On 24 April (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Venerable Lughaidh, as a priest. He was of the line of Eoghan, son of Niall. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
