Life
Cele-Dabhaill (in the Irish annals Celedabhaill mac Scannail, 858 to 14 September 927) was abbot of Bangor in County Down, a poet and a scholar. In 926 he went on pilgrimage to Rome, leaving the abbacy, and composed some quatrains at his departure. The Annals of the Four Masters say that he died at Rome on 14 September 927, in the fifty-ninth year of his life, calling him successor of Comgall, bishop, scribe, preacher and learned doctor of Ireland. The sources show no canonization.
