  • Do your local Rivers, lakes, Streams, Canals and Wetlands matter to you?

    The Waters and Communities Office are hosting public meetings to discuss the natural waters of County Laois. If you are interested in water quality, angling, heritage, biodiversity, amenity use or issues affecting your local waterways then this is an opportunity to have your say.

The Waters & Communities Office aims to get local communities more involved in valuing and protecting our local waters and these meetings provide an opportunity for you to have your say.
