County Laois
Laois (pronounced LEASH) is dominated by a flat plain, the lowest point of which is the Bog of Allen. In modern times this bog has been commercially harvested. Stripping the wet turf in thin layers, drying it and using the turf for the production of Briquettes - Ireland's prime source of fuel for fireplace/cooking/electricity generation, etc.
Portlaoise and Portarlington are the two main towns in Laois. Although they are far from the sea, they were actual ports for the barges that plied the Canals linking Dublin and the rest of Ireland, before the railways were built.
