"The geography of Ireland describes an island in northwest Europe in the North Atlantic Ocean. The ocean is responsible for the rugged western coastline... There are a number of sizable lakes along Ireland's rivers, with Lough Neagh being the largest in Ireland. The island is bisected by the River Shannon, at 259 km (161 miles) with a 113 km (70 miles) estuary the longest river in Ireland which flows south from County Cavan in the north to meet the Atlantic just south of Limerick. The large central lowland is of limestone covered with glacial deposits of clay and sand, with widespread bogs and lakes. The Bog of Allen is one of the largest bogs. An unusual environment is present in north County Clare, in an area known as The Burren. This karst-like landscape consists of limestone bedrock, with little or no soil in the inner-most areas. There are numerous sink-holes, where surface water disappears through the porous rock surface, and extensive cave systems have been formed in some areas. The Pol an Ionain cave, near Doolin, is the site of one of the world's longest known free-hanging stalactites.
The main river in Ireland is the River Shannon... [and it]develops into three lakes along its course, Lough Allen, Lough Ree, and Lough Derg... Lough Foyle ... is one of Ireland's larger inlets... Dublin Bay is the next sizable inlet ... Between north County Clare and County Galway is Galway Bay."
So, waterforms in Ireland: Atlanttic Ocean, bays, loughs, rivers, lakes, bogs and karst formation caverns.
Or did you mean Waterford, the ancient Viking town now famous around the world for its crystalware?
