Life
The Martyrology of Donegal names Saint Neachtain on 22 April (Old Style). He is called mac Ua Baird. 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.
