About Togher
Togher is a busy residential suburb situated between Cork city centre and Douglas, on the south side of the city. It lies along the N27 Airport Road corridor and is close to major routes including the South Ring Road (N40). The area has a strong community identity with well-established housing estates, local shops, schools, and sports clubs.
Togher is also close to the Tramore Valley Park, one of Cork's largest urban parks, and borders the neighbourhoods of Ballyphehane and Lehenaghmore. Many residents in these areas use our Douglas office for notary services due to the short travel time and ease of access.
With Cork Airport just a few minutes further south along the N27, Togher residents travelling internationally frequently need documents notarised before departure.
