Saint Berach was a sixth-century Irish abbot and a follower of Saint Kevin. Born in Gort na Luachra to parents from the Cinel Dobtha and Conmaicne tribes, he began his religious studies at Inishkeen after the age of seven. He eventually established a church at Cluain Coirpthe, which is known today as Termonbarry. Throughout his life, he was recognized for his holiness, and his influence extended to various locations, including Kilbarrack, where he is said to have performed miracles.
