The McHale families were part of the community of north Mayo, a landscape of mountains, bogs, and Atlantic coastline that was one of the most severely affected by the Great Famine of the 1840s. The most celebrated McHale in Irish history is Archbishop John ‘Lion of the West’ MacHale of Tuam, the formidable nineteenth-century archbishop who championed the Irish language, opposed Famine-era policies, and was among the most outspoken voices of Catholic Ireland in the Victorian era.

His championing of the Irish language, his bitter opposition to English-medium education in the National Schools system, and his powerful interventions during the Famine era made him the most prominent churchman of his generation.
