	Rivers of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main river in Ireland is the River Shannon, 386 km (240 mi), the longest river in either Britain or Ireland, which separates the boggy midlands of Ireland from the West of Ireland.
		This is a list of rivers in the whole island of Ireland; that is to say, it includes rivers in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
		The rivers are listed in clockwise order starting from the Foyle at Derry, and for convenience are divided by jurisdiction and by the sea into which they each drain.

		The navigable river Lagan, which, throughout near half of its course, has a direction nearly parallel to the Bann, turns eastward at Magheralin, four miles north-east of which it becomes the county boundary, and passing by Lisburn, falls into the bay of Belfast, after a course of about thirty miles.
		The Ballynahinch or Annacloy river brings down the waters of several small lakes south-east of Hillsborough, and widens into the Quoile river, which is navigable for vessels of 200 tons a mile below Downpatrick, where it forms an extensive arm of Strangford Loch.
		The original object was chiefly to afford a water carriage for the coals of Tyrone district to Dublin.

	River Foyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Foyle is a river in the northwest of Ireland, which flows from the confluence of the rivers Finn and Mourne at Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, to the city of Derry, where it discharges into Lough Foyle and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean.
		Due to the presence of two bridges over the river in Derry, and a city blighted by poverty, many young Derry males choose to attempt suicide by jumping into the deep and fast moving Foyle.
		The River Foyle is also the fastest flowing river in Europe, and has Europe's only double decker bridge (Craigavon or "old" bridge) crossing it.
