County Hall (Irish: Áras an Chontae, Port Laoise) is a municipal facility in Portlaoise, County Laois, Ireland.
History
Originally meetings of Laois County Council were held in Portlaoise Courthouse.[1] After the courthouse became inadequate, a purpose-built facility was built in May 1982.[2][3][4] An extension, linked to the existing County Hall building by a single storey glazed corridor, was completed in 2007.[5]
