Course
Headwaters of the Burren River on Mount Leinster.
The Burren River rises on the north face of Mount Leinster and flows northward under the R724 (Ullard Bridge, west of Fenagh) and under the N80. It continues northward through Rathoe meeting the Aghalona River in Inchisland and turns westwards, passing under the M9 in Moyle Big. The Burren River goes under the N80 again at Ballinacarrig Bridge. It flows through the southern part of Carlow town and passes under the railway line, R448 and R417 (Burrin Street) and then drains into the River Barrow.[5][6]
Wildlife
Fish species include brown trout, three-spined stickleback, nine-spined stickleback, Atlantic salmon, stone loach, common bream, roach, perch and lamprey.[7][8]
gollark: Oh, they dropped the 970's prices? In any case other 1TB disks are available for maybe £80-£90 and NVMe ones for a little more.
gollark: Pointlessly fast because sequential IO, which is the main point of NVMe disks, is not usually the bottleneck.
gollark: One of the pointlessly fast and expensive PCIe ones, too.
gollark: I just recognized 970 evos as being some sort of samsung SSD.
gollark: That doesn't apply to SSDs.
