{{Short description|Mermaid or merman in Irish folklore}} {{other uses}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} [[File:Clonfert Cathedral Mermaid 2009 09 17.jpg|thumb|240px|right|Irish mermaid (bas-relief, [[Clonfert Cathedral]]).]] [[File:Clontuskert_Priory_Doorway_Mermaid_2009_09_16.jpg|thumb|Carving of mermaid (possibly with mirror), [[Clontuskert Abbey]]]] {{Culture of Ireland}} '''Merrow''' (from [[Irish language|Irish]] ''{{lang|ga|murúch}}'', [[Middle Irish]] ''{{lang|mga|murdúchann}}'' or ''{{lang|mga|murdúchu}}'') is a [[mermaid]] or [[merman]] in Irish folklore. The term is anglicised from the Irish word murúch. The merrows supposedly require a magical cap ({{langx|ga|cochaillín draíochta}}; anglicised: [[#Cohuleen druith|cohuleen druith]]) in order to travel between deep water and dry land.
