The Mountmellick woman is a proficient snap chatter. Could be snapping about absolutely anything. Well worth a follow.

23. berminr22 – Rosemary Bermingham

The Laois camogie captain is great fun on Snapchat. You can expect camogie nights out, day to day life happenings or just general craic from Rosemary on Snapchat

22. snowyriv88 – Pa O’Reilly

Crettyard midfield Pa O’Reilly was influential as his side reached the semi-final of the club championship for the first time ever last year. Known as Snowball, Pa is a great man for an image-inspired pun, mostly farming related.

21. KieranLillis – Kieran Lillis

A primary school teacher, a night club proprietor and a Laois senior footballer. And he snaps about a lot of it. Very entertaining.

19. darren316 – Darren Strong

The Laois and Emo defender is also the owner of DS Sports. As well as being an inter-county footballer and owning his own business, he’s very entertaining on Snapchat. Routinely pulling the piss out of his fiance forms the basis for a lot of his Snaps.

18. cococlare26– Clare Coleman

Owner of CoCo Hairdressing Stradbally, Clare Coleman is also a keen GAA enthusiast. She’s a mad Annanough woman and uses her Snapchat to give GAA updates, farming updates plus hair styling tips. What a combination.

17.  mickram89 – Mick Ramsbottom

Probably the biggest messer on the list, routinely using his story to embarrass those closest to him. He’s pretty ruthless about it too. Endless entertainment

16. ditzyblondeno1 – Ann Marie Kelly

Abbeyleix native Ann Marie is a fashion guru. A must follow for anyone who wants to know what the latest trends are.

15. abennettoisin – Oisin Bennett

Laois minor hurling captain Oisin Bennett seems like a gas man. His Snapchat stories range from pucking sliotars around Camross to nights out all over.

14. osullm – Maeve O’Sullivan

Portlaoise Panthers star Maeve O’Sullivan just misses out on our top ten. Her basketball skills are excellent and so too is her ability to make you laugh on Snapchat.

13. chrismulhall11- Chris Mulhall

Want to know what it is like to be a professional footballer in Ireland? Well Portlaoise native Chris Mulhall, who plays for Limerick FC in the Premier Division of the League of Ireland, is a must follow.

Damien is a well-known wedding singer and he’ll often snap his way through someone’s big day (or some of it anyway). Expect all sorts of witty observations

9.  twobrokedivas – Two Broke Divas

The Two Broke Divas (who are part of the Laois Today team of columnists) are social media sensations. The fashion and beauty bloggers are a big deal on Snapchat too. Probably mostly of interest to women.

8. dannyhanlon123 – Danny Hanlon

Clough-Ballacolla goalkeeper Danny Hanlon is also the owner of Hanlon Kitchens. Insights into his working life, slagging off his co-workers and showing off what part of the country his van gets to is what you can expect. All with a good sense of humour.

7. danthamilkman – Daniel Connolly

One of the youngest members of the list, Daniel Connolly makes the grade due to popular demand. He was the most tagged person in our original post and since we followed him, we’ve been laughing at his every move.

6. mrskbomb – Fit With Brid

Bríd is another one of the LaoisToday team of columnists (and what a team it is) and she just misses out on the Top 5. A proficient social media operator she’s a big deal on Facebook, offering health and fitness advice coupled with the experience of being a busy mother to two young children.
