The Barrow (Irish: An Bhearú)[1] is a river in Ireland. It is one of The Three Sisters; the other two being the River Suir and the River Nore. The Barrow is the longest of the three rivers and, at 192 km (120 mi), the second-longest river in Ireland, behind the River Shannon. The catchment area of the River Barrow is 3,067 km2 before the River Nore joins it a little over 20 km before its mouth.[2] The river's long term average flow rate, again before it is joined by River Nore, is 37.4 cubic metres per second.[2] At the merger with the River Suir, its catchment area is ca. 5,500 km2 and its discharge over 80 m3/s.
