Natural features
The River Dodder forms the southern border with Rathfarnham while the River Poddle forms the northern border with Greenhills and Kimmage. The historical artificial watercourse from the Dodder at Firhouse to the Poddle passed through Templeogue.[6]: p.36
Prominent views from Templeogue are of Montpelier Hill 5.7 km (3.5 mi) to the southwest,[7] topped by the ruin of the Hellfire Club at 383 metres (1,257 ft), and of Three Rock Mountain (450 m), topped by transmitter masts, 7.3 km (4.5 mi) to the southeast.[8]
Etymology
The original Irish language name Teach Mealóg refers to a chapel named after Saint Mel that was built there in about 1273.[9]
History
Templeogue was originally a small village in the rural, southern part of County Dublin. In Elizabethan times it was owned by the Talbot family, who later became prominent as the owners of Mount Talbot. The Talbot's estate was forfeited to the Crown on the Restoration of Charles II. In the later seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it was owned by the Domviles who controlled access to Dublin's main drinking water supply, the River Dodder, which passed through their estates.
In 1801, the Templeogue Road was constructed, originally as a toll road.
Urban expansion of Dublin during the 1950s and '60s absorbed the village.
Amenities
Schools
The local schools are St. Pius X National School, Our Lady's Secondary School, Templeogue College, St. Mac Dara's Community College, Bishop Galvin National School, Bishop Shanahan National School, and Ashfield College.[10]
Sports
Local sports facilities are Faughs GAA Club, St. Judes GAA Club, St. Mary's College RFC, Templeogue Swimming Club, Templeogue Tennis Club, and Templeogue United Football Club.
Shops and services
Shops, restaurants, and small business services are located in the village on Templeogue Road, as well as in Fortfield Park, Cypress Park, Wainsfort Drive, and Rathfarnham Shopping Centre.
Although surrounded by pubs in adjacent neighbourhoods, Templeogue has only one pub inside its boundaries, The Templeogue Inn, also known as The Morgue. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway passed through Templeogue so close to the pub that pedestrians were sometimes hit. Some corpses were sheltered in the pub until taken away and the pub acquired the permanent, morbid nickname. The Templeogue Inn was, for a while, the most expensive pub in Ireland when it changed hands on 12 October 1983 for IR£660,000, a remarkable sum at the time.[11]
Churches
The Roman Catholic parish church is St. Pius X which opened on 27 November 1960 on College Drive. A previous church was situated[when?] close to the existing graveyard at Wellington Lane, where the original village of Templeogue was located.
St. Jude's church was built at Orwell Park in 1975 to serve the newer housing estates of Orwell, Willington, Rossmore and surrounding areas.[citation needed]
Politics and administration
Templeogue straddles two Dáil constituencies, with five of its electoral divisions (Templeogue-Cypress, Templeogue-Limekiln, Templeogue-Orwell, Templeogue-Osprey, and Templeogue Village) in the Dublin South-West constituency, and one electoral division (Templeogue-Kimmage Manor) is in Dublin South-Central.[12][13]
It is administered by South Dublin County Council, and its local electoral area for county council elections is Rathfarnham–Templeogue.[14]

Culture
James Joyce, who was born 2 km to the northeast in Rathgar,[19] mentions Templeogue in Finnegans Wake, Book III, Episode 3, page 553, line 12.[20]
The poet Austin Clarke lived in Bridge House beside Templeogue Bridge, which spans the River Dodder. After his death, there was a proposal to preserve the house and his library of 6,500 books as a memorial. This was not possible owing to long-term plans to demolish the house and widen the road. The old Templeogue Bridge, built in 1800, and Bridge House were removed and a new bridge was opened by Councillor Mrs. Bernie Malone, Chairman Dublin City Council on 11 December 1984, which was renamed Austin Clarke Bridge in his honour.[21][22]
