Rathdowney (RĂ¡th Domhnaigh in Irish, meaning "Daghda's fort") is a town in southwest County Laois, Republic of Ireland, located south of Portlaoise in the midlands of Ireland. Rathdowney is located where the R433 and R435 meet with some minor roads. The town's names arises from a ring fort, or rath, which was near the town until it was levelled in 1830. Brewing was a major industry in Rathdowney until 1966.
