Life
On 12 March (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Maelcorghais. Gorman praises him as a gem of purity. 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.
