Togher ({{irish place name|An Tóchar|causeway or level place}})[2] is a suburb on the southside of Cork city, Ireland.

Geography

Togher is bounded to the north by The Lough, to the south by Ballincrannig and Farmers Cross, to the east by Ballyphehane and to the west by Waterfall and Wilton.[3] Flowing through the parish is the Liberty Stream, from Corcoran's Bridge to Togher Cross where it disappears underground for a short while before re-emerging at Greenwood and joining the larger Tramore River on its way to Douglas.[3] Togher is divided into the electoral divisions of Togher A and Togher B, which (as of 2016) had a combined population of 2,765.[1] These electoral divisions are bounded by Glasheen River on the western side, with the Glenmore River acting partially as its eastern flank with the Pouladuff road forming part of the boundary as far as the junction of Pearse Road.[4]

History

Historically Togher was an agricultural area with large estates owned by ascendancy families such as the Sarsfields.[3] Togher originally lay in the parish of St. Finbarr's South until 1890, when it formed part of the newly created parish of St. Finbarr's West, better known as the Lough Parish. People had to travel considerable distances to attend religious services such as mass, baptisms, and funerals.{{fact|date=August 2017}} Togher's Roman Catholic church, the 'Church of the Way of the Cross', was built in 1972 to "meet the needs of the growing suburban population".[5]

Sport

Local clubs include St Finbarr's GAA,[6] Everton FC,[7] Pearse Celtic, and Greenwood FC. Togher Athletic Club is home of Irish racewalking Olympian Robert Heffernan.[8]
