Taughmonagh
Taughmonagh (from Irish Tuath Monach 'tribe of Monaigh') is a small housing estate in south west Belfast, Northern Ireland, within the civil parishes of Drumbeg and Shankill, and barony of Belfast Upper. Taughmonagh has become known for being a staunchly loyalist estate.
Taughmonagh is situated between the Upper Malone Road and Lisburn Road. On the Upper Malone Road, the residents can make use of various shops and amenities at the Dubs Stores. Towards the Lisburn Road, the many amenities include a petrol station, take-aways and further shops and restaurants in the neighbouring Finaghy area. Within Taughmonagh, there is a small convenience store which is often referred to as "the wee shop". In September 2007, a new Presbyterian church (Rev Arnold Frank Memorial Presbyterian Church) was completed, replacing the previous church which was built in 1954.
The main community group is Taughmonagh Community Forum formed in 1996 which supports a Family Learning Centre, a Community Resource Centre and operates a day nursery called "Scribbles". The Community Forum also operates a number of inter-community and cross-community projects including links with neighbouring Benmore and Annadale through the Live and Learn Open Doors Project, and cross-border links with Manorhamilton, County Leitrim in the Republic of Ireland.
The Taughmonagh Youth Club is available for those from Primary Three (aged 6/7) up to 14th year secondary (aged 17/18) and is open two nights of the week. The area also contains a small children's park, which has recently been renovated with an enclosed football/basketball area.
The estate has its own social club which is used by the community and also serves meals. The social club was in the media in 2005 with a visit from then-Irish President, Mary McAleese, visiting the loyalist estate. In June 2009, this trend of opening tours to visitors from the Republic of Ireland continued with a visit from a group from Manorhamilton as part of a cross-border initiative.
There is a small Community Gym, which was refurbished at the end of 2018.
There is also many football supporters clubs in Taughmonagh, such as the Taughmonagh Rangers supporters club, the Manchester United supporters club, the Northern Ireland football supporters club and the Leeds United supporters club. These clubs go to their respective football matches.
Taughmonagh Young Men F.C. play in the Northern Amateur League 2B division. A notable game was their February 2023 match against premier division team, Immaculata F.C., in which they were heavily defeated 10–2, and subsequently crashed out of the Clarence Cup.
