Public Meeting In Laois Tonight On Turning Boglands Into Tourist Attraction

Locals feel the Cul Na Mona boglands near Portlaoise have tourism potential.

A public meeting tonight is looking to recruit locals to a campaign to turn old boglands in Laois  into a tourist attraction.

The Cul Na Mona boglands near Portlaoise were previously used for peat production.

The community group feel there's potential for the network, with a proposal being discussed on a possible greenway to link them together.

They're also looking for more local opinions on how the land could be used.

The meeting takes place tonight at 7 in the Parish Centre on the Stradbally Road in Portlaoise.

Organiser Edel Heeran says it could easily link to other tourist sites in the county:
