We launched the connected hubs initiative in the Mill Enterprise Centre, Drogheda. There is no better example than there of the potential of remote working. There is a great deal of industry and remote work and it is an excellent place. The connected hubs scheme is available to access on an app. On their mobile phone, people can book a desk or an office and it is all done online. It is easy access and we wanted to make sure of that.

Separately, the connected hubs funding call is open to applicants. There was funding of €9 million last year and I have just opened the funding process for this year. It is open to remote working spaces that join up to the connected hubs scheme to apply for funding. We want to create a connected hubs ecosystem. I want to see this country light up. The app will outline all the places that are available.
