Castlebar, Co.Mayo was awarded the top spot
Leixlip has nabbed second place, in a survey which looked at the best towns to work from home in Ireland.
In a survey carried out by Switcher.ie Leixlip is described as an attractive town close to Dublin, which has some of the best transport links and is well served by education and health services.
Superfast 5G coverage, easy access to parks, woodland and sporting facilities, plus a comparatively low crime rate made Leixlip a worthy runner-up for remote and hybrid workers who need to travel into Dublin for meetings or a working lunch.
Castlebar coined the top spot as the best place to work from home in Ireland.
The survey found that not only are house prices in Castlebar considerably lower than others on the list, it also offers a winning mix of great leisure amenities, speedy broadband, 5G mobile coverage and plenty of green spaces.
Leixlip, Navan, Galway and Longford were among the top five places to work from home.
