5 reasons Laois is the ultimate girls' getaway
Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery, a spa robe and a few of your favourite people to feel like yourself again. And while the big-name spots can often steal the spotlight, Co Laois is carving out a name for itself as the ideal setting for a girly escape. Just over 45 minutes from Dublin, this Midlands gem has everything you need for a weekend of fun and a little bit of luxury. But why is Laois the ultimate girls' getaway: 1. Choose your own adventure Laois might be known for its festivals and championships, but that's not all you'll find here. There's so much to see and do. Go hiking the Ridge of Capard boardwalk in the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Kick off at the Capard trailhead, where a short stroll leads to a viewing platform with incredible views across Laois and beyond. On a clear day, you might even glimpse the Wicklow Mountains in the distance! Then, head through the gardens of Emo Court, where you can take in the elegance of the house, stroll beneath the trees, or just enjoy a cappuccino in the tearooms. Or visit the Rock of Dunamase, just outside Portlaoise. This hilltop ruin was once a powerful Celtic stronghold, with stone walls and incredible views – perfect for some group selfies to remember your trip away! Cap off the trip with a well-earned tasting session at Ballykilcavan Brewery in Stradbally, inside a 230-year-old stone courtyard on a working family farm. Or explore Ireland's first eco-friendly garden centre, Solas, where you can browse plants, pick up local crafts, and sip coffee in a stylish greenhouse café. From the Timahoe Round Tower just outside Portlaoise, to the Gash Gardens, to hopping aboard a narrowboat along the Grand Canal, you can choose your own adventure! 2. Spa bliss No girls' getaway is complete without some serious pampering, and the 4-Star Heritage Hotel & Spa delivers in spades. Set against the beautiful Laois countryside, it is one of Ireland's most luxurious spa experiences. Home to a Thermal Suite, the spa has a Himalayan Salt Cave, a Rustic Sauna Cabin, and lots of heated and cooling experiences designed to soothe body and mind. It's also the only place in Ireland where you'll find both an authentic Hammam and Mud Rasul treatment, which are a must-try for anyone looking to detox, reset, and feel more radiant. Float through the hydrotherapy pool, melt into a heated lounger, or drift off during a relaxing Elemis facial and wake up to glowing skin. You can choose from a wide range of treatments, including deep tissue massages, wraps, and bespoke facials tailored just for you. 3. Close to everything but far from the routine One of the best things about planning a trip to Laois is how easy it is to get there and how quickly it feels like you've stepped away from the everyday. Whether you're coming from Dublin, Cork, or Galway, you won't need to pack a passport or plan for hours on the road. In just a short drive, you'll find walks, spa days, and lunches with friends are all on the cards, and deadlines feel a million miles away. It's the perfect escape from the city this summer, where you can breathe and recharge in the heart of Ireland's Hidden Heartlands. 4. From afternoon tea to sunset cocktails Food is a big part of any getaway, and Laois knows how to make it count. Whether it's cocktails on a terrace, casual bites between spa sessions, or dinner that feels like a real treat, you'll find plenty of spots here. The Heritage has two incredible dining options: The Seven Bar offers all-day casual dining, perfect for laid-back lunches, brunches, or pre-dinner cocktails. If the sun's out, grab a seat on the leafy Terrace, where the retractable roof lets the sunshine in and the cocktails flow. For a more refined time, Blake's Restaurant has elegant evening dining, where the menu celebrates the best of local Laois produce. The head chef is passionate about reducing food miles and creating seasonal dishes that highlight the very best the Midlands has to offer. And of course, no girls' trip is complete without Afternoon Tea. Served daily in The Galleria, it's a spread of sandwiches, pastries, and sweet treats, all with a glass of bubbles! 5. The perfect pad for the whole gang Forget awkward room arrangements because at The Heritage, every single bedroom has been recently renovated and upgraded to ensure maximum comfort and luxury. Their new two-bedroom group suites, introduced in 2024, sleep up to six people and have been a massive hit with birthday groups, mini hen parties, and friends reuniting for a well-earned break. If you're looking for a touch more independence, the hotel also offers five luxurious two-bedroom self-catering apartments onsite. You'll have the privacy of your own space with all the perks of a hotel stay. Perfect for a spa day or winding down after playing on Ireland's only Seve Ballesteros-designed championship golf course. It's a standout experience for both experienced players and those looking to try something new, as it has water features, tree-lined fairways, and beautifully sculpted bunkers. Morning coffees in your slippers, late-night chats around the table, and the freedom to come and go as you please? Sorted. The Heritage is 4-Star luxury in the heart of serene Laois countryside, just 45 minutes from Dublin, two hours from Cork or Galway and all you need in one place for a luxury escape this summer. From one of Ireland's largest spas, delicious dining, beautiful rooms with the ultimate in home-from-home comforts and an 18-hole Seve Ballesteros-designed golf course, you've all you need just a drive away for a blissful break this summer.

PM inaugurates another Sumitomo factory in Egypt to increase car parts export
CAIRO - 21 May 2025: Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly inaugurated Tuesday the SE Wiring Systems Egypt LLC in 10th of Ramadan City. Madbouly toured the factory that produces electrical wiring harnesses for cars to learn about the various manufacturing stages and was shown a documentary video about Sumitomo's global activities, showcasing the company's various activities, production lines, and investments in Egypt. Mohamed Hammam, the company's Deputy Managing Director, said the project's total area is 150,000 square meters, and the current production hall area is 12,500 square meters, with a current occupancy rate of 60% of the total area. A total space of 40% is available for a future expansion, Hammam said, adding that full occupancy will be achieved by 2027. Meanwhile, direct workforce is 2,000 with the target to reach 3,000 by the end of 2025. For the first time in Sumitomo Egypt's history, all machine installation and preparation work is being carried out 100% by a local team of technicians and engineers. All operators, technicians, and engineers in this area are local, having received certified training from the parent company and demonstrated high skills comparable to operating levels in European factories, Hammam emphasized. The factory has 170 wire cutting and preparation machines in Egypt, more than any of Sumitomo's factories in Europe, he said, boasting the KOMAX machine, one of the most advanced technologies available in the world, manufactured in Switzerland and distinguished by its precise operation. All components have been manufactured locally, tested, and passed all calibration stages, demonstrating high efficiency that rivals, and in many cases exceeds the efficiency of parts imported from European manufacturers. This has prompted other companies to consider importing some locally manufactured parts from Egypt, according to Hammam. The Japanese company contributes to the training of more than 300 dual technical education students in the three governorates where it has factories: Port Said, Giza, and Sharqia. The factories in Egypt are equipped with an integrated solar energy system to supply part of their operational needs with clean energy, in line with the Egypt's approach to reduce carbon emissions and support Egypt's Vision 2030 to rely on renewable energy sources. SE Wiring Systems Egypt LLC was established in 2008. It is a subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems Europe, a subsidiary of Sumitomo International, one of the largest economic entities in the world. It is also one of the projects established in Egypt under the Special Free Zone system. It operates in the field of manufacturing electrical wiring systems and cables for cars and vehicles of various types. The company provides more than 12,000 job opportunities within its various factories in 6th of October City, 10th of Ramadan City, and Port Said. The company owns five factories in Port Said and two factories in 6th of October City. The company produces, manufactures, and exports all of its products to the U.K., France, Turkey, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia with annual exports exceeding 300 million euros.
