The River Maigue (/ˈmeɪɡ/ Irish: An Mháigh, meaning 'river of the plain')[1] rises in the Milford area of north County Cork, Ireland. The River Maigue is 38.75 miles (62.36 km) long.[2] It drains an area of 1,000 square kilometres (390 sq mi)[3]
It is joined by the small River Glen and the larger River Loobagh in south County Limerick. It then flows north through Bruree, after which it augmented by the River Morning Star. It flows through Croom and Adare before entering the Shannon Estuary (Irish: An tSionainn) just north of Ferry Bridge between Kildimo and Clarina, just west of Limerick city. The River Maigue is tidal up to Adare on the N21 Road Bridge.
^A. D. Mills, 2003, A Dictionary of British Place-Names, Oxford University Press. Strictly speaking, the Irish term an mháigh means simply, "the plain". In this case, "river of" is an implied auxiliary meaning.
