Mobile Information Service: We had a very successful week with the Mobile Information Unit in various places throughout Laois and wish to thank everybody who allowed us park at their premises and thank the public for calling in and hope that everybody got any information they needed from us and remember you can contact Ann for any more info you may need. We are on Main Street Portlaoise and come along to our support group where you will meet other families that have a loved one with dementia and you can talk to them.
