This week in the news section of the Irish Home Show podcast, I discussed the lastest study from comparison website, Switcher.ie. They’ve announced the results of “Ireland’s Best Towns to Work From Home”.
They compared towns across Ireland for their broadband and 5G access, plus a host of other variables such as access to gyms, leisure and outside spaces, schools, GPs and amenities, and house prices.

The top five were:
