Laois Life spring edition - out now!

Get ready for the February/March edition of Laois Life, hitting the shelves this Tuesday, February 25!

This edition is packed with interviews with well known Laois personalities and includes a complete guide to what's on in the county in the coming months.

With Mother's Day just around the corner we have you covered with plenty of ideas on how to spoil the motherly figure in your life. On March 8 we will celebrate International Women's Day and with that in mind we have a special feature with inspirational Laois woman Sue Ramsbottom who was inducted into the Ladies Gaelic Football Hall of Fame in 2024.

Ahead of St Patrick's Day we caught up with local couple David and Lisa Walsh-Kemmis, owners of Ballykilcavan Brewery to hear about how they celebrate our national holiday.

Easter is a time to indulge in some delicious chocolate and Laois twins Kate and Ruth O'Hara know this better than anyone. This edition features an interview with the Durrow natives on their chocolate boutique, Temptation Chocolates.

For those looking to keep fit Mountmellick personal trainer Tommy Delaney shares what inspired him to start up his fitness business while Portlaoise-born sports commentator Pauric Lodge, who has cemented his place as one of the voices of Gaelic games on RTÉ, tells us about his fascinating career path.

And if that wasn't enough we have all the glitz and glam from the Laois Macra ball which celebrated the 80th anniversary of the farming organisation in style.

We hope you enjoy this very special edition of our Laois Life magazine, and thank you to our readers for their ongoing support.
