Áed Ua hOissín (in English Hugh O'Hession) was the first Archbishop of Tuam, one of four bishops granted pallia at the Synod of Kells in 1152 by the papal legate Cardinal Archbishop Giovanni Paparoni . He came from a family with some church connections: Aed Ua Oisin was also the name of a coarb of Iarlaith of Tuam (abbot of Jarlath's Monastery) in the late 11th century – this abbot is said to have died in 1085. He was preceded and succeeded as chief Bishop of Connacht by members of the prominent ecclesiastical family of Ua Dubhthaigh.
