🚗 Portlaoise County Laois Ireland| A Tour of One of Ireland’s Fastest-Growing Towns

Join me on a relaxing drive through Portlaoise, the county town of County Laois in Ireland’s South Midlands. Portlaoise has rapidly grown over the past two decades—its population has doubled from around 12,000 in 2002 to over 23,000 in the same 2022, making it one of Ireland’s fastest-expanding towns. With its young demographic, strong transport links, and proximity to Dublin, it has become a major Midlands hub.
In this video, I take you on a real-time drive starting from the Kilminchy area on the Dublin Road. Along the way, we pass several well-known Portlaoise landmarks, including:

🟢 Midlands Regional Hospital
🟢 Portlaoise Prison
🟢 Portlaoise Train Station
🟢 Midlands Park Hotel
🟢 Town Centre & Laois Shopping Centre
🟢 Heading out towards Mountrath Road
🟢 Fairview residential areas
🟢 Ending the drive at Kilminchy, Dublin Road

Whether you’re from Portlaoise, thinking of visiting, moving in, or just enjoy virtual drives, this video gives you a peaceful look at the town’s streets, neighbourhoods, daily life, and key areas.
