The Carnegie Co-working Centre was established in 2017 as a joint initiative between Kerry County Council and Castleisland Chamber Alliance.
The project involved refurbishing a disused building for use as a co-working space whereby the profits generated are used for other non-profit projects in Castleisland town.
Funding for the refurbishment of the building was sourced by Castleisland Chamber Alliance from the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.
Home Working for Staff
During the Covid19 pandemic the government encouraged employers to facilitate home working for office staff where possible.
Now that restrictions are being lifted some employers have chosen to offer remote working long term to their employees.
In practice there are some issues with home working – such as poor broadband, the inability to switch off and separate work life from home life. Co-working hubs offer a positive solution to those problems.
