Na Forbacha is the only official name. The anglicised spellings Furbo and Furbogh have no official status. |
It has a typical Gaeltacht style of settlement with no village street or centre, but rather comprises around fourteen townlands, most of which run north to south from the bog to the foreshore. Due to its proximity to Galway, and consequential pressure from property developers, housing developments generally have an Irish language clause applied.[citation needed] Housing developments have a requirement that 80% plus of housing units are reserved for Irish speakers.[citation needed]
The settlement consists of the following townlands: Cnocán an Bhodaigh, an Straidhp, an tSaoirsin, Baile na hAbhann, na Poillíní, Doire Uachtair, Aill an Phréacháin, an Coisméig Mór, na Forbacha Garbha, Seanadh Fhréachóg, and Cnoc na Gréine.
Furbo has a large community pitch which is used by the local Bearna-Na Forbacha hurling club,[4] football club, and by the nearby Barna Soccer Club.
