 Historians have suggested, however, that the connection with St Patrick was a later tradition invented by Armagh historians in favour of their patron saint and that Secundinus is more likely to have been a separate missionary, possibly a companion of Palladius.Little is known about the saint and his cult.His foundation is Domnach Sechnaill ('Church of Sechnall'), now Dunshaughlin (Co. Meath), not far from Tara, and to judge by the use of the toponymic element "domnach" (from Latin "dominicum"), the church is likely to be early.
