Nore

River of the Republic of Ireland. Rising in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in County Offaly, it flows southeast through the counties of Wexford and Kilkenny to join the River Barrow, north of New Ross, before entering the estuary at Waterford Harbour. Fishing is popular on the river, which is stocked with an abundance of trout and pike. In 1991 a breeding programme began to save the Nore freshwater pearl mussel, a species unique to Ireland and the Nore, from extinction.
