Áras an Chontae on Target for Climate Change Following a number of energy saving initiatives, Áras an Chontae energy usage has decreased by 11% in 2009 compared to 2008. This is significantly better than the annual 3% target set out in the National Climate Change Strategy. The measures have included replacement of Halogen lights with ultra energy efficient LEDs, car park lighting reduction, reduction in unnecessary indoor lighting, PC shutdowns, etc. At current levels, the energy reduction should improve our Building Energy Rating Certificate from an E1 to a D2. Staff awareness and co-operation will help ensure that we continue to make savings and continue to achieve our Climate Change targets. A Hybrid Street Light was installed at Áras an Chontae by Portlaoise Enterprise Centre based Advanced Renewable Energy Ireland LTD (ARE). ARE’s product collects solar and wind energy to power the standard street light fitting. In this case, the ultra low energy LED technologies have been installed, so that ultimately, this one lamp will be capable of powering up to 3 LED flood lights and making the car park totally self sufficient. This pilot project will help assess the suitability of renewable energy lighting systems that may reduce Public Lighting operating costs.

  • Bennett Route Brochure
    Drive the Historic GORDON BENNETT ROUTE A journey through counties Carlow, Kildare and Laois 2 Welcome note by Mr. John O’Donoghue, T.D., Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. I welcome this brochure, which traces the route taken through the roads of Laois, Kildare and Carlow, by the famous Gordon Bennett Cup Motor Race in 1903 - an international contest that was the precursor of the present- day Formula marvellous guide1 Grand to the Prix. Route. I am sure that this brochure will prove to be a We must be grateful to the dedicated motoring historians who have unearthed so many interesting facts about the 1903 race, including the lobbying campaign to bring it to Laois, which stressed its value for tourism and the improvements it would bring to the roads. In 1903, the motorcar had a future that few would have dreamt of in those days when the speed limit in Britain and Ireland was 12 miles per hour. A special Act of Parliament was passed to allow the circuit to be closed in for the Gordon Bennett Cup and this enabled the winning Belgian driver to average 49.2 miles per hour in a time of 6 hours and 39 minutes. The original route is now a focused tourist attraction in its own right, taking in quiet and scenic country roads, towns and villages, with many heritage attractions. I congratulate all involved in this excellent brochure and I hope its wide circulation and association with the annual rallies and other motoring events will do much to promote the great benefits of motor sport and tourism in these counties.

  • A Walk Around Ireland - County by County
    A walk around Ireland - County by County This article can do little justice to the beauty and splendor that is Ireland. As we ramble around the country we will briefly mention the places that are of little acclaim - but should not be missed, to the more widely recognized locations you will find in any travel guide. These are the spots this writer has visited and will visit again, but in no way meant to suggest as the best or worst places spend a while. Ireland consists of four provinces: Leinster , Munster, Connacht and Ulster. This is Leinster - Cúige Laighean. Dublin City Co. Dublin, the largest city in Ireland, founded by the Vikings over 1,500 years ago. Being the political and commercial capital of Ireland, you will find the Presidential Residence in the Phoenix Park - the largest city park in Europe, over 1750 acres, within the city limits. Here also are many of the offices for governmental affairs, Trinity College – with the Book of Kells and Brian Boro’s harp, the General Post Office – G.P.O., a key site from the 1916 rising and and a host of museums, theaters and home to Ireland’s most famous export Guinness – at St. James Gate, where you will be able to sample the freshest pint of Guinness on the planet. Pub life is one of Ireland’s attractions and you will find an endless selection of locations to visit – but perhaps start at the “Brazenhead” one of Ireland’s oldest, licensed in 1666 but said to date from the 1300’s.

  • Laois Garden Trail Foreword by Dermot O’ Neill: Broadcaster, Writer, Lecturer and Gardening Expert
    Laois Garden Trail Foreword by Dermot O’ Neill: broadcaster, writer, lecturer and gardening expert Since buying a small home and beginning to develop a walled garden in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, County Laois, I have fallen in love with the place. I’ve had opportunities to grow a wide and varied range of plants from fruit and vegetables to trees and shrubs, and my special interest – roses. The county brings its own unique and special atmosphere, making it a magical place to create a garden. This new trail provides a unique opportunity to showcase some of the county’s finest private and public gardens. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the beauty of these places. Included in the trail are famous public gardens such as Emo Court and Heywood, but there are also several uniquely styled Dermot O’ Neill gardens, where the personality of the owner shows through. A fine example is Dunmore Country School, owned by Tanguy de Toulgoët, a French horticulturist of great skill. There you will see a working French-style kitchen garden. Another garden which shows the owners’ personality is Gash Gardens, owned by Mary Keenan and Ross Doyle. These gardens were started 25 years ago and have developed into a plantsman’s paradise, full of interesting and beautifully arranged and grown plants. Fruitlawn Garden, a one acre Walled garden, is created by Nationally renowned garden designer Arthur Shackleton. Beautiful plant combinations of Rare and unusual plants can be seen. The garden has a formal layout and is planted with artistic style.
