Laois sits an easy hour north of Kilkenny, with Abbeyleix and Durrow practically on the doorstep via the N77. Portlaoise is the anchor — commuter-belt movement in and out of the town keeps a steady flow of house moves, and the Midlands Park and Kyle retail areas generate regular furniture-delivery work.
A lot of Laois jobs are corridor jobs: families relocating between Portlaoise and Dublin, Kildare or Carlow along the motorway, single items bought in Kilkenny or Carlow heading north, and IKEA drops swinging through on the way back from Ballymun. If your move touches the M7/M8 corridor, odds are the van is already on it that week.
