Can Lough Funshinagh even be defined as a turlough anymore?
A turlough is a disappearing lake. The water is supposed to come from a subterranean source and then disappear after a number of months. The issue is that has not happened for many years at Lough Funshinagh.
WATER levels are rising in grassy hollows known as turloughs and flooding acres of farmland, especially in western counties.
Senator Ailing Dolan recently highlighted the rising waters of Lough Funshinagh in Roscommon following the recent spate of rainstorms.
