Life
Rechtabhra mac Dubbchomar, who died in 782, was abbot of Aughrim in Ireland. He is one of only five known bishops, abbots or erenaghs of Aughrim and the first explicitly called abbot; the three before him are called bishops. No other details are preserved. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization.
