I believe the answer is:

aidan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'referring to irish monk working on lindisfarne' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'help with article' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'aid'+'an'='AIDAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aidan that I've seen before include "Irish fellow" , "Saint associated with Lindisfarne" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
