What is "ballyphehane"

Ballyphehane is a suburb in the south of Cork in Ireland. It is one of the oldest suburbs in Cork and was created as part of a post- World War II initiative to create a model community in Cork. Between 1948 and 1993, a total of 11 housing schemes totalling 1,316 dwellings were built by Cork Corporation, now known as Cork City Council. Many of the main roads in Ballyphehane are named after the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising including Patrick Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas MacDonagh and Thomas Kent.

The combined population of the Ballyphehane A and Ballyphehane B electoral divisions is 1,443. However, without strictly defined boundaries, many definitions of Ballyphehane include some or possibly all of the Pouladuff A and Pouladuff B electoral divisions.
