Life

Mughron Ua Níoc, who died in 1032, was abbot of Tuam in Ireland, the first abbot of Tuam named in the annals since the death of Cormac mac Ciaran in 879. The surname is now written Ó Niadh or Nee and is still found in County Galway. Nothing else is preserved. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization.
