Life
Cetadach was the thirty-first abbot of Clonmacnoise and died in 848. He succeeded Rónán, who resigned in 823 and died in 844. In his time, in 845, the Vikings under Tuirgéis plundered Connacht and Mide and burned Clonmacnoise with its oratories; in 846 the monastery lands were plundered. He was of the Ui Cormaic Maenmhaighe. The sources show no veneration as a saint.
