Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Ultan under 3 July (old style). A later hand adds the name Tirechan, citing Marianus. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.
