Life
Eoghan Ua Cathain, who died in 980, was abbot of Clonfert in Ireland. Between him and the abbot before him, Aedh, there are sixty-six years without recorded abbots, so the exact succession is uncertain. Nothing else is preserved. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization, feast or miracles.
