Life
On 28 April (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Luightighern. Donegal says he is at Tuaim Fionn Locha in Tratraighe; his mother, Brigh, daughter of Forannan, was sister of Maelaithghin, and the Life of Maccreiche places him there. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
Commemorated the same day April 28
