It's been more than 170 days since Clare Nolan was in her office in Dublin. "The first week or two it was a novelty, there was no structure at all," she says. "One of us was working and homeschooling in the kitchen, and one was upstairs away from it all.
It was chaotic." In June, she and her husband Eric rented an office desk at a coworking hub called T-Cube, in nearby Edenderry.
At a cost of €65 a month, they now take turns working from there. "It means one of us can get dressed up and go to work for the day," Claire said.
Remote working hubs have gained in popularity in cities where people live in cramped apartments and in rural areas where broadband can be a problem.
