We love our lists at LaoisToday.
To signal the end of 2017, we thought it would be a good idea to do a list on the Top Tweets of 2017 from Laois Twitter users.
There is a range of ages, genders, well-known and prehaps less-knowner Twitter users, but all have produced top quality Tweets in 2017.
So sit back, relax and maybe enjoy a laugh or two at LaoisToday’s Top 25 Tweets of the Year.
