Darerca of Ireland

[1] When Saint Patrick visited Bredach, as is found in the "Tripartite Life of St. Patrick," he ordained Aengus mac Ailill, the local chieftain of Moville, now a seaside resort for the citizens of Derry.

Darerca's second husband, Chonas the Briton, founded the church of Both-chonais, now Binnion, Parish of Clonmany, in the barony of Inishowen, County Donegal.

It is well to note that another Saint Muinis, son of Gollit, is described as of Tedel in Ara-cliath.

According to Colgan, the latter is identical with Liamania but must not be confounded with Saint Monennia, or Darerca, whose feast is on 6 July.

Saint Darerca is honoured on 22 March and is the patroness of Valentia Island.
