In PICTURES Memory Lane: Lots of lively Laois events

Who do you know from events in Abbeyleix, Ratheniska, Mountrath, Castletown and Portlaoise?

Take a trip back to Laois in April 2004 when the Leinster Express covered a fashion show in Abbeyleix, a Castletown Céilí, a Laois GAA club pitch opening in Ratheniska, a model’s visit to Mountrath and a Macra tree planting in Portlaoise. Enjoy the gallery!
