Ms Joanne Mangan:

We launched a project approximately three months ago to map where remote workers are located throughout Ireland. There are no data readily available to say where remote workers are located or how many there are. There are some data from the Central Statistics Office but we look to build a comprehensive map of where people are throughout the country and the companies for which they work. We have launched a survey. It is on the Grow Remote website. Workers can go to the website, log themselves and put in the details of where they live and what company they work for. Our ultimate aim is that one will be able to see at a glance where there are clusters of remote workers. All these data are very valuable in terms of regional dispersion of remote workers, what parts of the country are more popular for remote workers and who the remote employers are in Ireland. We are building those data. That is an ongoing project about which we are very excited.
