Newry River
Newry River and River Clanrye (Irish: An Rí) are names for one of the rivers of Ireland; it passes through the city of Newry and empties into Carlingford Lough near Warrenpoint. The River which runs through Newry, forms the historic border between County Armagh and County Down. Some maps call the portion downstream from Newry to the Lough the 'Newry River' and the portion upstream of Newry the 'Clanrye' (as it curls around to its sources in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains in Ulster), but not all sources make this distinction.
The word 'Clanrye' comes from the Irish An Gleann Rí meaning The King's Valley.
While the Newry River flows under the famous Newry Town Hall, according to the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland, the Clanrye breaks away from the Newry River near[Drummillar. The Clanrye then progresses under the main Belfast to Dublin A1 road at Sheepbridge and onward toward the Mayobridge Road at the Crown Bridges and Ashtree Cottages. According to local tradition, however, the entire waterway is known as the Clanrye.

years, and I was ruined and undone and left raining like
a leaf.
It was fourteen degrees below on a screeching March 23.
Don't look me in the eyes now, there ain't nothing in
there to see.
Jet black, slick and wide and glued to the walls.
Last night the whole of hell came down to bathe and dine
with us and I met the strangest woman with skin that
smelled like rust.
She said "I've been in a crowd of thousands and each one
had eyes like you.
Yes, I've been in front of millions and they all had eyes
like you.
