Life

Venerable Murghal son of Ninnidh is commemorated on 29 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a son of Ninnidh and abbot of Rechrainn, and the text gives the year 768 for his repose. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
