Article VII. —St, Darerca, Virgin, Daughter to Cairbre. The
published Martyrology of Tallagh' records Darerca, virgin, at the 15th of January. With the entry of St. Ita's feast on the same day, it unites that of
the daughters of Cairpre. We only find, however, that a saint called Darerca, virgin, and a daughter of Cairbre, occurs in the Martyrology of Donegal'' on this day. Little besides can be found relating to this religious woman.
Article VIII. —The Seven Bishops of Druimairbhealaigh, now probably Drumreilly, County of Leitrim.
