Life
Abner (Abnér), who died in 760, was abbot of Imleach Iubhair, in what is now County Tipperary, Ireland. In prehistory the place was called Medón Mairtine, 'central Mairtine', after a very powerful group of Munster. Nothing else is preserved about Abner. The sources found show no veneration as a saint.
