Rural relocation: 'You can live the dream and still progress your career'

Manager of a digital hub in Sneem, Co Kerry, believes a decentralised workforce is the way forward

You can still progress in your life while enjoying life in the beautiful surroundings of Sneem.

Aidan Murray manages the Sneem Digital Hub, a slick communal workspace in a picturesque Kerry town where a river cascades down from the mountains between jauntily painted cafés and ice-cream parlours.

The digital hub was set up two years ago by locals keen to attract more people to live in the area to counteract rural depopulation and keep the local community, school, post-office, and GAA club vibrant and busy.
