Toormakeady[2] or Tourmakeady (Irish: Tuar Mhic Éadaigh, the official name)[3][4][5] is a Gaeltacht in south County Mayo in the west of Ireland.

It is located between the shores of Lough Mask and the Partry Mountains, and covers 172.26 square kilometres (66.51 sq mi).

From the time of the Great Famine of the mid-1840s onwards, the Toormakeady area has experienced a high level of emigration.

The genealogical records for this area have been computerised at the South Mayo Family Research Centre in nearby Ballinrobe to make the task of tracing roots easier.

[10] The English actor Robert Shaw, best known for his work in From Russia with Love, Jaws and The Sting, lived in Drimbawn House,[11] Toormakeady until his death in 1978.
