Life

Íbar of Killibar Beg is a very obscure early Irish saint, after whom Killibar Beg (Cill Íbar, 'the church of Íbar') in County Galway is named, noted in the Episcopal Rental of Clonfert around 1351. He would have been active as an evangelist among the Soghain of Connacht during or after the lifetime of Kerrill. Nothing else is known of him.
