New look Laois Yearbook hits the shelves across the county this week
Produced by the team behind the Leinster Express and Laois Live, this Yearbook is a snapshot of the county in the last 12 months
We are excited to bring you the 2024 Laois Yearbook which is packed with exclusive interviews, festive inspiration to get you in the mood for Christmas and a look back at the year's biggest events.
Inside you'll find interviews with the inspirational Emma Fogarty, who suffers from the agonising skin condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB), and the amazing Paralympian Nicole Turner reflects on her year after Paris.
It has been a year of big milestones for our communities with Stradbally celebrating 60 years of the Steam Rally, the Clonaslee Agriculture show celebrating 70 years while Dunamaise Arts Centre and Portlaoise Musical Society are both celebrating their 25th year.
On the pages of this Yearbook, we look at how these events and organisations have grown and become an integral part of the fabric of the county.
Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy this very special Laois Yearbook.
- Laura McLoughlin, Editor
