About this meeting

Sunday evenings see Portlaoise First Things First gather at 8.30pm in the Hollies Room, Clonminam Industrial Estate, rounding off the week for the group's members-only Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. The Sunday session follows no set format, so expect open sharing among those with a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers do not need to have attended before and can simply turn up. There is no fee and no requirement to register in advance. The room is used by the same group throughout the week, so faces will be familiar to regular attenders. Wheelchair accessibility at this venue has not been confirmed, so check ahead if this affects you. Portlaoise itself sits just off the M7 motorway.

Common questions

Is this Sunday meeting suitable for someone new to AA

Yes, a first-time attender with a desire to stop drinking is welcome, even though the meeting is members-only rather than open to the general public.

Is there a cost to attend on Sunday evening

No, AA meetings are always free and there is no need to book a place beforehand.

Can wheelchair users get into the Hollies Room

This has not been confirmed for the venue, so anyone with mobility needs may prefer to ask the group in advance.
