Life
Conamail mac Faílbi (Conamail) was the tenth abbot of Iona in Scotland, from 704 to 707. He did not die until 710, but his successor Dunchad was made abbot already in 707; the sources do not say why, and scholars have suspected a split in the Iona community over the Easter question, a mistake in the sources, or an unexplained resignation.
His name is on the guarantor list of the Law of Adomnán (Cáin Adomnáin). The sources I consulted say nothing about his veneration as a saint, so he is remembered here as an abbot of Iona.
