Life

Venerable Luighsech is listed on 22 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, as a virgin. She is counted among three nuns of Druim da Dhart, with Aghna and Caissin. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration rests on the Irish tradition, without synodal canonization, and the sources say no more.
