Céledabhaill mac Scandail
Cele Dabhaill mac Scannal (858 – 14 September 927) was the Abbot of Bangor, County Down. The Annals of the Four Masters contain the following notice of Cele Dabhaill's pilgrimage, sub anno 926: Celedabhaill, son of Scannal, went to Rome on his pilgrimage from the abbacy of Beannchair; and he composed these quatrains at his departure: Time for me to prepare to pass from the shelter of a habitation, To journey as a pilgrim over the surface of the noble, lively sea. Time to depart from the snares of the flesh, with all its guilt, Time now to ruminate how I may find the great son of Mary.
