Bridge over the Sullane at Macroom

The River Sullane (Abha an tSuláin) runs from the mountains between County Cork and County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland, near the village of Coolea.

After passing Ballyvourney, the Sullane runs through the centre of Macroom, to which it provides drinking water (and occasionally floods). The Sullane is joined by the River Bohill at Ballyvourney, the River Foherish at Clondrohid, about three miles west of Macroom and the River Launa locally known as "The Launey" half a mile east of the town.

The Sullane joins the River Lee half a mile further east.

The river is well stocked with trout and perch, minnow and a small number of pike.
