Dripsey River (Irish: Abhainn na Druipsí)[1] is a tributary of the River Lee in County Cork, Ireland.[2] It rises near the Boggeragh Mountains and flows through several villages,[3] including the eponymous Dripsey (Irish: An Druipseach, meaning 'the muddy river'),[4][5] before joining the River Lee near the Inniscarra Reservoir.[6][7]
