He reigned from 705 to 707.

His predecessor

Cenél Coirpri defeated and slew Indrechtach in 707. The Annals of Tigernach refer to Indrechtach as "king of the Three Connachta" which indicated the beginnings of a true provincial over-kingship in hostility to Ui Neill pretensions.[3]

Indrechtach's son Ailill Medraige mac Indrechtaig (died 764) was also a King of Connaught.
