PORTLAOISE Order of Malta recently cut the ribbon on their brand new headquarters.
The new building in the IDA Business Park on the Mountrath Road will secure the future of the local Order of Malta cadets and senior units, and in so doing ensure they can continue to support the local community. The new HQ will also allow the Order to continue offering training courses to groups and members of the public.
Along with the support of Laois County Council, particularly engineer Ken Morley, who secured the new building, local councillors Conor Bergin, Catherine Fitzgerald, Marie Tuohy and deputy Willie Aird also played a huge part in helping to bring the HQ project to fruition.
Also working in the background were Order of Malta members Tracy Carroll, Noel Conroy and Des Thornton.
