Abbeyleix is aiming to become a ‘No poster’ town, according to councillor and member of the Tidy Towns committee, John Joe Fennelly

Cllr Fennelly said that Laois’s tidiest town is aiming to have no posters within the 50km speed limit signs in the town.

In a written statement, acting county librarian Bernie Foran said: “Yes this will be addressed in conjunction with the Laois County Council IT department.”

New information point

Cllr Fennelly also stated that a lab in Portarlington would be able to set up the information reader in Abbeyleix, for roughly €400 to €500.
