Who they were

Abbán of Corbmaic (Old Irish: Abbán moccu Corbmaic, Latin: Abbanus; d. 520?), also Eibbán or Moabba, was a saint and abbot. He is associated, first and foremost, with the Mag Arnaide (Moyarney or Adamstown, County Wexford, near New Ross). His order was, however, also connected to other churches elsewhere in Ireland, notably that of his alleged sister Gobnait.
