County Mayo (Irish:Contae Mhaigh Eo, meaning "Plain of the yew trees") is a county in Ireland. In the West of Ireland, it is part of the province of Connacht and is named after the village of Mayo, now generally known as Mayo Abbey. Mayo County Council is the local authority for the county. The population of the county was 130,638 at the 2011 census. The boundaries of the county, which was formed in 1585, reflect the Mac William Íochtar lordship at that time.
Geography
It is bounded on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean; the south is adjacent to County Galway, the east is adjacent to County Roscommon; the northeast is adjacent to County Sligo.
Mayo is the third-largest of Ireland's 32 counties in area and 15th largest in terms of population. It is the second-largest of Connacht’s five counties in both size and population. There is a distinct geological difference between the north and the south of the county. The north consists largely of poor subsoils and is covered with large areas of extensive Atlantic blanket bog, whereas the south is largely a limestone landscape. Agricultural land is therefore more productive in the south than in the north.
Mayo was a constituency represented in the Irish House of Commons from 1611 to 1800. Between 1725 and 1793 Catholics and those married to Catholics could not vote.
Leigh Rayment's historical List of Members of the Irish House of Commons() cites: Johnston-Liik, Edith Mary (2002). The History of the Irish Parliament 1692-1800 (6 volumes). Ulster Historical Foundation.
This constituency comprised the whole of County Mayo.
Members of Parliament
Elections
The elections in this constituency took place using the first past the post electoral system.

The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable climate which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the Middle Ages. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded in Ireland is about 11% of the total, compared with a European average of 35%. There are 26 extant mammal species native to Ireland. The Irish climate is very moderated and classified as oceanic. As a result, winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area. However, summers are cooler than those in Continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
IRELAND - West Coast of Co. Mayo | Travel Video | DJI Mavic Pro, Sony A7s | 4K
A short travel video from our week long stay on the West Coast of Ireland in County Mayo. We stayed on the Belmullet Peninsula and travelled all over the region. Places featured include, Achill Island, Downpatrick Head, Srah and Blacksod Bay.
We got a very calm week weather-wise, low winds and warm temperatures (well when I say warm, it is still Ireland). Saw some incredible atlantic landscapes in our time here and I could deifinitely have stayed a lot longer capturing the views on offer.
Filmed with;
- Sony A7s with a 28-70mm lens
- DJI Mavic Pro
I also took lots of stills on this trip which I will share on Instagram @nathanolooneymedia
Enjoy the video!

County Mayo (Irish:Contae Mhaigh Eo, meaning "Plain of the yew trees") is a county in Ireland. In the West of Ireland, it is part of the province of Connacht and is named after the village of Mayo, now generally known as Mayo Abbey. Mayo County Council is the local authority for the county. The population of the county was 130,638 at the 2011 census. The boundaries of the county, which was formed in 1585, reflect the Mac William Íochtar lordship at that time.
Geography
It is bounded on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean; the south is adjacent to County Galway, the east is adjacent to County Roscommon; the northeast is adjacent to County Sligo.
Mayo is the third-largest of Ireland's 32 counties in area and 15th largest in terms of population. It is the second-largest of Connacht’s five counties in both size and population. There is a distinct geological difference between the north and the south of the county. The north consists largely of poor subsoils and is covered with large areas of extensive Atlantic blanket bog, whereas the south is largely a limestone landscape. Agricultural land is therefore more productive in the south than in the north.
Now when I say 2-0, you say - Nah, you know the rest This is our scene Our music, our movement, the history lives through us I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings Despite the drama, there's respect and camaderie Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy It's a rite of passage, I'm not trying to be corny I got love for Sportin' Life, Alpha P, Massline, and Onry Every time somebody steps out on the road They bring a little Northwest soul with them, amen Alright then, just so you know I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show So, turn my sound up Ricochet off our mountains It's Good Medicine that Chief Seattle would of been proud of Sends our city, town pride, heart, blood, sweat, tears, I-5, North, South side, vibe, live, ride down these city blocks And never will be stopped They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks Now Mr. Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance?
