A new survey has found Donegal to be a hidden gem, with distinct advantages for remote professionals.
With an extensive digital hub network and along with the superb quality of life offering, workers from across the country have chosen to relocate here or log on to the office during extended breaks.

Over the last four years, the number of people working from home in Ireland has increased from 19.89% to 36.2%, according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO).
The analysis factored in essential elements such as rent prices, broadband speed, crime rates, air quality, sunlight hours, restaurant availability, and the number of primary schools. These factors play a crucial role in determining the ideal location for remote work living. Each data point in the index was individually scored, these scores were then used to calculate the overall index ranking.
