Life
Suibne mac Cuanach, who died in 816, was the twenty-ninth abbot of Clonmacnoise. He was of the Uí Briúin Seola, from what is now County Galway. The Chronicon Scotorum says of him that he rested thirty days after the burning of the monastery. Nothing else is preserved. The sources show no veneration as a saint.
