From the Paper:
"Ireland is an island situated in the North Atlantic Ocean in northwestern Europe. Ireland is noted for its low central plains, as well the ring of coastal mountains that surrounds the island. Ireland's highest mountain peak is Carrauntoohil, which is elevated 3,414 feet above sea level. The western coast of the Island is particularly rugged; it contains numerous islands, headlands, and peninsulas. Ireland is divided by the River Shannon, which is also the island's longest river. It runs for 161 miles and contains an estuary of 70 miles. The Shannon flows south from County Cavan, meeting the Atlantic Ocean south of Limerick. Ireland also has a number of lakes, the largest of which is Lough Neagh."Sample of Sources Used:
