Reposed
7788th century

Life

Tibraide mac Fearchair was abbot of Clonfert in Ireland. His death is entered twice in the annals, under 781 and 790, hence the suspicion that two men of the same name held the office in succession; our record gives 778. Nothing else is known. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization, feast or miracles.
