The council plans to conduct a feasibility study on Donaghmore Workhouse and Museum.
Laois County Council is seeking funding to develop a new tourism amenity.
Applications have been made to Fáilte Ireland and the Just Transition Fund for Donaghmore Workhouse and Museum.
The council plans to conduct a feasibility study on the site’s potential.
Councillor for Borris in Ossory/Mountmellick John King believes the project, including parking for campervans and food facilities, will boost the local economy.
A tourist information centre is also proposed for people visiting the area.
Councillor King says it's great to see the region get a new tourist attraction:
