In Pictures: Selection of great images as #LoveLaois gathers momentum

We asked and you answered – in style!

In recent weeks, here at LaoisToday we have launched our #LoveLaois campaign, as we urge our considerable audience to Think Local, Support Local and #LoveLaois as the county opens for business again following the Coronavirus lockdown.

It’s a simple campaign, one that encourages Laois people to both support all types of Laois businesses – motors, hospitality, property, retail, health and beauty etc – and to enjoy the many brilliant tourism facilities on our doorstep.

It’s a campaign that is going to be ramped up over the summer months with LaoisToday set to team up with Laois County Council, Laois Tourism and Laois Chamber of Commerce.

But already across social media over the last couple of weeks #LoveLaois has been gaining traction with images flooding in of the many beauty spots and of businesses opening their doors again.

Here we publish a selection of those – from all corners of the county and all walks of life.

If you have any images you would like us to include on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter accounts – or on website and app – please tag us on social media, use the hashtag #LoveLaois or email info@laoistoday.ie

In the meantime, enjoy a selection of what has come to us over the last two weeks.
