Life
Cormac ua Cillin, who died in 966, was abbot of Tuamgraney in Ireland and the ancestor of the Ó Cillín family, which later held the headship of the monastery. The Chronicon Scotorum calls him successor of Ciarán and Comán, a sage and an old man, a bishop, who built the great church and bell-tower of Tuaim Gréne and rested in Christ. He is said to have founded Saint Cronan's Church at Tuamgraney. The sources show no canonization.
