He'll replace Eddie Brennan, who stepped down last month.

Plunkett's name has been formally proposed by the Laois GAA management committee, with only rubber-stamping required by the county board.

He previously reigned over the O'Moore hurlers from 2012 to 2016, helping them reach Division 1B of the Allianz Hurling League.
