The first article was submitted to the Evening Echo by Togher Community Association Secretary Fergal Dennehy concerning the Blog's original incarnation as the Togher History Society. That group was disbanded in late 2016 having fulfilled its work. It saw print in the Monday edition of the Evening Echo dated 2nd September 2013.
