Togher, Cork

Togher (Irish: An Tóchar, meaning 'causeway or level place')[2] is a suburb on the southside of Cork city, Ireland.

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.

[4] Historically Togher was an agricultural area with large estates owned by ascendancy families such as the Sarsfields.

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".
