To signal the end of 2018, we thought it would be a good idea to do a list on the Top Tweets of 2018 from Laois Twitter users.
There is a range of ages, genders, well-known and perhaps lesser-known Twitter users, but all have produced top quality Tweets in 2018.
The tweets range from serious to funny, hopeful to sarcastic and everything in between.
It was a tough job narrowing it down to just 25 – but with the help of our regular Tweets of the Week – we hoped we’ve shown some of the best tweets Laois has to offer.
So sit back, relax and maybe enjoy a laugh or two at LaoisToday’s Top 25 Tweets of the Year.

13 year olds who cut crease their eyeshadow and contour their faces won’t build character like those of us who wore dream matte mouse and the Naked pallet for a solid 4 years. A face like a hard boiled egg, half baked on the lid and dark horse on the crease x stunning x
