The 12.8 km (8 mi) river originates in County Sligo[2] and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Pollacheeny Harbour some 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Enniscrone on the west side of Killala Bay.[3][4][lower-alpha 2]

There are claims that the river may previously have been known as the Geloir, meaning clear and mentioned several times in old records of Sligo.[5][6]
