We’re back with our Tweets of the Week again this week!
This week there’s been one major news story and that’s the coronavirus outbreak.

Think of the vulnerable..
This madness needs to stop, panic buying and stock piling non essential items have left people across Laois and further without the resources necessary to survive. Think of the vulnerable and the elderly and what this hysteria is doing. pic.twitter.com/NkGPdCI8kw

Hon Laois
Kyra Carusa makes her debut in the Euro 2021 Qualifier after being added to the squad last week, hailing from America. The best part is, she qualifies to play for Ireland through her grandparents – one from Cork and the other from Laois. Oh you love to see it #LaoisLaoisLaois
