Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Venerable Gobban of Airdne on 30 May (Old Style), as an abbot. Tallaght ties him to Airdne Dairinsi, near Beggery in Wexford. 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.
