Finaghy (/ˈfinəxi/ [1] or /ˈfɪnəki/; from Irish an Fionnachadh, meaning 'the white field')[2] is an electoral ward in the Balmoral district of Belfast City Council, Northern Ireland.
Housing estates were built in Finaghy, including Benmore, Locksley and Erinvale, which caused the population to at least double.
[citation needed] Finaghy is home to the first purpose-built National Health Service clinic in the United Kingdom.
[citation needed] Unusually, Finaghy has no pubs or betting shops: it was stipulated in land deeds that there were to be no public houses on the land belonging to Ballyfinaghy House, the past residence of Ralph Charley, a wealthy Belfast merchant who made a fortune from the linen industry.
St. Anne's Roman Catholic Parish Church and centre is nestled opposite the top of the Black's Road.
