Conamhail (or Conain)

an early Irish and Scottish saint, son of Failbhe, and abbot of Hy, is commemorated September 11. He was the first abbot of Hy, or Iona, that was not of the race of the founder, and was the last under whom the native usage regarding Easter prevailed. He succeeded St. Adamnan, A.D. 704, and died A.D. 710 (Lanigan, Ecclesiasticul History off Ireland, 3:150, 153; Grub, Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, 1:113, 114; O'Donovan, Four Masters, 1:309).
