Group want coworking space for historic Kinsale building

A feasibility report said the building could deliver annual turnover of €500,000 following its refurbishment

The historic Kinsale Municipal Hall overlooks the coastal town.

A community group in Kinsale has said the renovation of the town's public hall into a remote working and cooperative hub could deliver significant revenues and support the local economy but has criticised the local authority for delays in the building's refurbishment.

As part of the revival, Future Kinsale proposed plans to create a multi-use facility from the historic municipal building that overlooks the town, including a co-working space with meeting rooms and hot desking, an art space offering a 140-seat venue, a stage and an outdoor event space, as well as a food hub that would provide catering to the centre and a start-up food business mentorship programs.
