Minister for Rural and Community Development and Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys said there are now 200 remote working hubs across the country.
Speaking at a remote working hub in Drogheda Co Louth this morning, the Minister said the average cost of using the hubs is between €15-20 a day.
Workers can now book an office or desk space in their local hub through an app called "Connected Hubs". The Minister said the Government is looking at plans at subsidising hubs, adding that this would be announced shortly.
Heather Humphreys today announced €5m in funding which she said would be used to build capacity and improve existing remote facilities.
