Life
On 12 June (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal names Torannán. The saint is called abbot of Bennchor, of Tulach Foirtcheirn in Leinster and of Druim-chliabh in Cairpre, Connacht, and is traced to the race of Cairbre Riada, son of Conaire, son of Moghlamha, according to one book. The same day also names him in the Martyrology of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman, and in the calendar of Aberdeen. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
