Dromahaire (Droim a dhá Eathair, Droim dhá Thiar (alt.) in Irish) is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland. Of the two Irish possible names, Droim a dhá Eathair ("Ridge of the two air-demons") is the oldest. This is a small picturesque village which is 12 miles from Sligo town. Built on the banks of the Bonet River which flows into Lough Gill, it is a town rich in history. Seat of the O'Rourkes, the ancient High Kings of Breifne, one of the old Celtic kingdoms, the ruins of his castle and banqueting hall are present in the village. It is also the place from which Devorgilla fled with her lover, Diarmuid McMurrough, an act which set in train a series of internal divisions in ancient Ireland, leading ultimately to the invasion of Ireland by the English. The village was modelled on a village in Somerset by Lord Leitrim, the central streetscape still follows the pattern set down by him. William Butler Yeats used to visit the town regularly to meet the parish priest. He referred to the town in "The man who dreamed of Faeryland".
