THIS IS

Offaly’s central location, good connectivity and quality of life make ita great place to live and work. From most parts of the county, citieslike Limerick, Galway and Dublin are just an hour’s drive away. This is a valuable asset for businesses looking to operate in nationaland international markets. Furthermore, its central location providesan opportunity for workers to “reverse commute”. This emergingtrend is where employees (or the self-employed) may live in thegreater Dublin area (or other urban areas) and commute againstthe traffic flow to work in Offaly.
