Life

On 30 July (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Sechnasach of Ceann Locha. The text calls him an abbot. He is said to be of the race of Laeghaire, son of Niall. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.
