What type of things can we expect to see on LaoisToday.ie?

LaoisToday.ie will have all your main local news – as it happens throughout the week. If there is a breaking local news story, we will be reporting on it straight away.

We will have reports on sports games within 30 minutes of the final whistle. From social or community events, we will have photos as quick as we get them. We’ll also have video and audio packages from local events.

We’ll be featuring Laois people living abroad; telling the stories of recently-married local couples; we’ll have informed opinion from well-placed local people relevant to their area of expertise. It’s not all serious stuff, though. We’ll have a good mix of fun, humour and nostalgia too.

Who accesses LaoisToday?

While the content is primarily of interest to people living in Laois and Laois people living away from home, we also focus, to a lesser extent, on all the areas bordering Laois – namely Kildare, Offaly, Tipperary, Kilkenny and Carlow.

LaoisToday attracts an average weekly audience of 70,000 Unique Users and 300,000 Page Views and has a considerably larger audience than any of our competitors in Laois.
