They are lakes that are in Ireland. Ireland has many lakes. Being on the east side of the Atlantic, it gets a lot of rain as weather systems cross the north Atlantic and cross Ireland as a the first major landmass before passing Britain and onto northern Europee. This is one of the reasons Ireland is so green. It also means there are lots of rivers and lakes in Ireland. Some well known Irish lakes include Lough Neagh, which is the largest, two lakes called Lough Derg, Lough Corrib, Lough Erne, Lough Ree, Lough Ennell and many others. Parts of the north midlands around the counties of Cavan, Westmeath, Fermanagh and Longford, have a lot of lakes.

How did the Irish and Italian workers build the canal systems on the Great Lakes?

Irish and Italian workers played a crucial role in constructing the canal systems on the Great Lakes during the 19th century. They were often hired for their labor-intensive skills, working long hours in challenging conditions to excavate earth, build locks, and lay down the necessary infrastructure. These immigrant laborers faced harsh environments and low wages but were essential to the successful completion of projects like the Erie Canal, which facilitated trade and transportation across the region. Their contributions significantly shaped the economic development of the Great Lakes area.
