Fine Gael drama, publicans, authors and county council meetings are back!!

The incredible drama at last week's Fine Gael General Election selection convention gets priority treatment on this week's LoveLaois Podcast. The long-serving Portlaoise-based councillor Willie Aird will be the party's candidate in the next election, whenever that may be, after his council colleague Conor Bergin withdrew his name at the last minute. What brought about the change? What does it mean for the future and why the LaoisToday team hopes the General Election isn't until early 2025!We also discuss our interview with retiring Portlaoise publican Seamus Donoghue as well as our chat last week with Crettyard author Lorna Sixsmith and the publication of her first novel. Plus we chat about the return of the Laois County Council monthly meetings and some of the musings from this week's Municipal District offerings.
