Life

Venerable Banban is listed on 1 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, as a priest. A note mentions a Banbhan, son of Donnghal, of the line of Fiacha Suighdhe. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration rests on the Irish tradition, without synodal canonization, and the sources say no more.
