The Shannon, the greatest of Irish rivers, is associated with oak leaves and acorns as symbols of strength and nobility, and a trident signifies Limerick City's sovereignty over the estuary. The river rises in County Cavan and flows southward through the centre of Ireland, broadening into three great lakes: Lough Allen, Lough Ree, and Lough Derg. Towns on or near the river include Drumshambo, Leitrim, Carrick-on-Shannon, Roosky, Lanesboro, Athlone, Clonmacnois, Shannonbridge, Banagher, Portumna, Dromineer, Scariff, Killaloe, Ballina, and Limerick City.
