  2. 3 Saint Attracta was born in Ulster, the daughter of a chieftain named Talchan. However, from the sequence of her life it is possible that Attracta was also closely allied to one of the noble families of Tireragh. The sites of her churches may be traced in County Sligo, Killaraght, in Coolaven, at Kilmactiegue and also at Tuam. There are also wells dedicated to her honour.
