Re-directs
This county has a raft of pages which have an intro cut n’ pasted from Wikipedia and not much else. They’re short on POIs and accommodation (even closed pro temp) so I propose:


 * - Emo to Portarlington
 * - Castletown to Mountrath
 * - Timahoe and Stradbally to Port Laoise
 * - Clonaslee to Mountmellick
 * - Aghaboe and Cullohill to Abbeyleix
 * - Ballaghmore > Roscrea
 * - Ballylinan > Athy

These last two mean re-directing across a county boundary, but I can’t see anywhere better and there’s plenty of precedent.

The county town is here called Port Laoise – “Portlaoise” is the commoner spelling but there’s little advantage in switching. Grahamsands (talk) 09:10, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

✅ as proposed. In the last few days wikipedia has switched spelling to "Portlaoise", so WV use of "Port Laoise" is now an oddity. I'll flip the spelling unless there's a cogent argument for status quo. Grahamsands (talk) 14:49, 28 June 2021 (UTC) - also DONE 1 July 2021.
