Eastern and Midland Region’s Co-Working Hubs As can be seen from Figure 5, the three Regional Assemblies of Ireland identified a total of 158 co-working hubs – both privately and publicly owned – in the Eastern and Midland region, as of September 2020.
As previously stated, the three Regional Assemblies of Ireland identified 387,000 private sector workers that are capable of operating remotely in Ireland, with 253,600 of these workers already based in the Eastern and Midland region. The three Regional Assemblies of Ireland – using the above figures, research from the European Commission 19 and data from Census 2016 – were also able to estimate the number of private sector workers that are capable of operating remotely in each of the local authorities based in the Eastern and Midland region, as evident from Table 5.
Just under half of these hubs were located in Dublin City, with 75 hubs identified in its local authority area. This was followed by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (17 co-working hubs), Fingal (11), Wicklow (10), Louth, Laois (both 9), South Dublin (8), Kildare (7), Westmeath, Offaly and Meath (all 4). Although Longford has a few projects expected to come on stream in the foreseeable future, the county had no registered co-working hub as of September 2020.
