Laois (pronounced LEASH) is dominated by a flat plain, the lowest point of which is the Bog of Allen, Bord-na-mona, have for the past 50 years harvested the bog, 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, which though far from the sea, were actual ports for the barges that plied the Canals linking Dublin and the rest of Ireland, before the railways were built. Our map of golf courses in Ireland currently shows 6 golf clubs in county Laois. |
