Scandal i Cluain, entered as having had a festival at that date. 2 It is thought, he may have been identical with a saint of the same name, venerated at the 3rd of May. 3 Colgan has offered an opinion, that the present saint may possibly be identical with a St. Caechscuile, a |scribe of Doire-Chalgaich, who died a. d. 720/ Yet, elsewhere,* he seems to identify this saint with Scannalius, Bishop of Kildare, who died a. d. 88 i. 6 There seems to have been a later prelate bearing this name, and who died early in the tenth century.
