A new outdoor event space in Laois is nearing completion.
The covered space in Portlaoise is due to be completed in late June and will be built inside the town's 16th century English military fort.
It will accommodate 2,000 people standing or 1,000 sitting with a 90 square metre stage.
Fine Gael Councillor Thomasina Connell says she hopes the new venue will attract thousands of people:
