Life

Nuada ua Bolcain, who died in 776, was abbot of Tuam in Ireland, the first recorded abbot of the place after Saint Jarlath. It is not known who preceded or succeeded him, because the list of abbots of Tuam is only partly preserved. Nothing else is known of him. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization.
