Mobaoi of Cluain Fionnabhair

Saint Mobaoi of Cluain Fionnabhair is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.

The Donegal text gives Cluain-⁠fionnabhair, or Cluain-⁠da-⁠an-⁠dobhair in Ui-⁠Muireadhaigh, as his place. His father was Sinell, and his mother Sin, daughter of Niall, son of Meachar, of Corca-⁠Bhaiscinn. The compiler thinks he is probably the Baedan of Cluain-⁠an-⁠dobhair, son of Sinell, named in the Naoimhshenchus.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 13 December. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
