Tempo, historically called Tempodeshel (from Irish An tIompú Deiseal, meaning 'the right-hand turn'),[2] is a small village at the foot of Brougher Mountain in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

There is a local legend that Saint Patrick left a manuscript here on his way to Enniskillen and that he told his servant to "turn right" to go back and retrieve it.

RIC sergeant Samuel Lucas was shot and fatally wounded, but a group of armed Ulster Volunteers arrived and drove off the IRA unit.

Shortly after, a Catholic civilian with republican sympathies, Philip Breen, was shot in the doorway of his family's pub in the village and later died of his wounds.

[citation needed] Tempo is classified as a small village or hamlet by the NI Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) (i.e. with population between 500 and 1,000 people).
