Village

The Shamrock Bar, a small pub, is located next to St. Aloysius' Roman Catholic Church, which was built in 1978 replacing a 19th-century church. St. John's National School is opposite and is composed of the original school building from 1890, now used as a community centre, and a modern school building that has been developed since the 1990s and has 308 pupils. The four star Breaffy House Hotel is located in a wooded area to the side of the village. The hotel was previously the home to the Browne family, the landlords of the area until the mid-20th century.

The village also features a 19th-century post office and schoolteachers residence, both of which are now disused. Breaffy also has a Gaelic Athletic Association pitch. The Breaffy GAA teams are the Mayo County "A" minor Champions and County under-21 B Champions.

People
gollark: If you can allegedly do this in x-con it can surely be done in general.
gollark: You can make a con which does *not* discriminate at all also have such protections against that.
gollark: If you are against discriminating based on traits people can't control, I don't think you should then discriminate against people based on traits they don't control.
gollark: For conference organization I don't think you need that much restructuring.
gollark: But you *can* be blind to it in some contexts by structuring things so you don't actually know it.
