Laois motorists are being reminded to allow emergency access

Laois residents are being asked to be mindful of the emergency services when parking at public amenities in the county.

Laois’s Fire Chief Declan Power said Glenbarrow in the Slieve Blooms in particular is an area where there can be difficulties with access during busy times. 

He reminded people to leave enough space for emergency services to access the area in the event of an emergency, whether that be for fire and rescue, ambulance services or other services.
