About Port Laoise

Port Laoise sits bang in the middle of Ireland on the M7, making it a handy stop whether you're heading from Dublin to Cork or crossing the country. The town connects easily to Carlow via the N80 and serves regular commuter traffic to places like Newbridge and Athy. With over 30 fast chargers, it's become a popular pit stop for electric car drivers. The old Maryborough Castle, a rare example of an 18th-century colonial fortress, still dominates the town centre as a reminder of when this place was called Maryborough until 1929.
