In the latest LaoisToday #LoveLaois podcast, Steven and Alan discuss some of the big local stories of the past seven days.
They chat about council meetings, how they work, the types of motions you can see and what really drive the councillors made.
Three new roundabouts for Portlaoise, the scourge of illegal dumping and the only junction in Ireland where you give way to the traffic coming from your left are all on our agenda.
Plus they look at the dynamic ahead of the 2024 local elections and the excitement that that will generate.
And there's Electric Picnic, Forest Fest, a significant retirement and a well-earned appointment.
