Life

Holy Hierarch Seighin of Ard Macha is listed on 24 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, as a bishop; the year of repose given is 687. Tallaght writes Segini, of Airdmacha (Armagh). The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
