If you have time on your hands (approx. 2 hours at least once a month) and have an interest in helping out then portarlington youth club would be interested in hearing from you. Please email us on portarlingonyouthclub@yahoo.co.uk.

We run a club for 12 - 18 year olds every wednesday and we really need more volunteers.

No longer in operation.
All of the major towns have large playgrounds.
Roll and Bowl Clonminham business park has an indoor play area.
Portlaoise has lots of clubs,GAA, soccer ,swimming, Brownies,Ladybirds,Scouts...quite a lot to do.

Welcome!

My little girl asked me to find a pet farm,and I think it's a challenge for me now
It will take some time to know enough about interesting places,attractions etc... to get my kids out from computers-lol
