Doohoma or Doohooma (in Irish, and officially, Dumha Thuama)[2] is a townland, peninsula and (since 2016) a census town in the County Mayo Gaeltacht, Ireland.

Other amenities include the local Roman Catholic church (dedicated to Pope Pius X) and the Doohoma National School.

[7] It endured high levels of emigration throughout the years, with the diaspora of Doohoma spreading to countries including England, Scotland, the United States, Australia and Canada.

[citation needed] Eventually, in 1926 three hundred local men erected a sod wall, which was later consecrated by Bishop James Naughton.

Eventually Mayo County Council granted some money to erect a stone wall to replace the sod ditch.

[citation needed] Fishing was the main occupation of the community but did not sustain the population entirely - so every year in June whole families would go to the potato fields of Scotland.

[citation needed] The townland was covered in the RTÉ documentary 'Doohoma' which dealt with the theme of emigration to England and the effect on local families.
