Lough Corrib (Loch Coirib in
Irish) is a
lake in the west of
Ireland. The
River Corrib/Galway river connects the lake to the sea at
Galway. It is the largest loch in the Republic of Ireland and the second largest in the island of Ireland after
Lough Neagh and it covers some 200 sq km. Loch Coirib is a corruption of Loch nOirbsean, which according to placename lore is named after the
Danann navigator Orbsen Mac Alloid (commonly called
Manannán Mac Lir, "The Son of the Sea," for whom the
Isle of Man is named.) In Irish the loch is also called An Choirib ("the Corrib").
