Another saint known only from the recording of his name on the Irish calendars is Saint Seighein, whose feast is recorded on August 24, as Canon O'Hanlon explains:
St. Segin or Seighein.
Scant justice has been meted to many of our holy men, in human records; although their careers were not unnoted by traits of a sublime and noble character, during their life-time. The Martyrologies of Tallagh and of Donegal register Segin or Seighein, as having been venerated at the 24th of August; but, without giving further information regarding him.
