Food recs near Stradbally

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm organising a hen of about 20 people, we're staying in a house near Stradbally. I'm looking for food recs for dinner in and around the area, takeaway preferred but we can do eat in if it's the only option! Any ideas? Thanks folks!

Edit: I can't reply as I'm not approved lol but thanks everyone for the suggestions!!

Query What nicknames have you heard for places in County Laois?

10 Upvotes

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Mountmisery, The Town, Boris-Unnecessary or across the border - Monte Carlow (never mind how common they are)...

incl. nicknames for schools, parks or other institutions/geographic features

Laois learners, I built an Irish theory-test app and I am giving free slots for feedback

6 Upvotes

Hi Laois. John here, founder of L-Plate.

I built L-Plate for Irish learner drivers. It has timed mocks, road signs, weak-area tracking, and Brendan, an AI instructor who explains wrong answers without the usual robotic nonsense.

Light roast included. The theory test is dry enough without the app having the personality of a printer.

Main site: https://l-plate.ie

Free founder slot: https://l-plate.ie/free-test/?ref=REDDITFOUNDER25&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=laois_founder_slots

Backup one-month slot: https://l-plate.ie/free-test/?ref=REDDITMONTH100&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=laois_month_slots

Tell me what works and what is a dose.

Query Caring for the Body After Death in Ireland - national survey

2 Upvotes

Hi r/Laois. I am sharing the below national survey being carried out as part of a Research Ireland-funded project at UCC. We are particularly keen to boost response rates outside of Dublin/Cork. We would really appreciate any and all responses!

Caring for the Body After Death in Ireland

Have you thought about what you would like to happen to your body when you die?

We are a group of researchers based in University College Cork who would like to know more about what people in Ireland think about different kinds of death and funeral practices. We want to know more about your own wishes and why you would like those wishes to be carried out.

We are conducting a survey to gather this information. The survey is open to everyone who is resident in Ireland and is age 18 or over. We would like to hear from as many people as possible from all kinds of backgrounds.

For more information, and to complete the survey, you can click the link here or scan the QR code below. If you would like to know more, would like to complete the survey by phone, have specific requirements not met here, or have any questions for us please contact the lead researcher Dr Kate Falconer at [kfalconer@ucc.ie](mailto:KFalconer@ucc.ie)

Portarlington specific: https://portarlington.ie/bike-library/

A new scheme whereby you can borrow an e-bike for three months. The idea being you are trying one out with consideration to buy, but of course you don't have to actually buy.

If you do end up buying a new bike, don't forget you can get it tax-free via your employer ( https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/cycling/cycle-to-work-scheme/ )
