386 km river divides the west of the island of Ireland (Connacht) from the east and south (Leinster and Munster).
The river flows generally southward from the Shannon Pot in County Cavan before turning west and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean through the 113 km long Shannon Estuary. Limerick city stands at the point where the river water meets the sea water of the estuary.
