Life

Gabhran was an Irish saint of the 5th century, who lived about 460. He was a son of Dubhthach moccu Lughair, the chief ollam of Ireland. His brothers, all saints and church founders chiefly in Leinster, were Fachtna of Kiltoom, Trian, Euhel, Moninne, Lonan and Molaisse mac Lugair.

The Martyrology of Donegal gives his day as 14 November, together with Fachtna and Euhel, and the Martyrology of Gorman speaks, for the same day, of the three sons of Dubhthach. Venerated locally, from the time of the undivided Church.
