New research by Switcher.ie has revealed the best Irish towns for work-life balance. The study is based on a range of factors, including access to local amenities such as primary schools, major supermarkets, and leisure centres; essentials like broadband and mobile connectivity; house prices and crime rates; and proximity to green spaces and transport routes. Top 10 towns for work-life balance Arklow claimed the top spot as the best town in Ireland for striking the perfect work-life balance. With surprisingly affordable house prices outside the city, it offers a winning mix of excellent local amenities and good connectivity for hybrid working, plus plenty of green spaces and a scenic coastline to boost well-being. Here's a snapshot of the top 10. For the full ranking and more top 5 winners, see Ireland's best towns for work-life balance 2026. Rank Town Median House Price Work-Life Balance Score 1 Arklow €290,000 6.44 2 Ballina €196,250 6.42 3 Enniscorthy €290,000 6.40 4 Wicklow €420,000 6.13 5 Cork City €347,363 5.97 6 Gorey €350,000 5.93 7 Tramore €329,999 5.90 8 Dublin City €505,997 5.90 9 Longford €200,000 5.71 10 Sligo €270,000 5.65 Most affordable Ballina was the most affordable town to buy a house in our study. House prices were based on the median house price in October 2025 (Residential Property Price Index). Top 5 affordable towns to live & work: Ballina, Longford, Letterkenny, Cavan and Mallow For families Ballina has taken the top spot as the best town for balancing work and family. To calculate the best town to work with a family, we summed index scores for house prices, crime rate, number of GP surgeries and primary schools. Top 5 towns for families to live & work: Ballina, Castlebar, Enniscorthy, Killarney and Longford For hybrid working Dublin was the best place for hybrid working; the city of Cork and areas of Kildare and north Dublin (Fingal*) also performed well. To calculate the best towns for hybrid working, we summed index scores for average broadband and mobile speeds and distance to major roads and bus stops. This data was only available at the county and city levels. Top towns for broadband and mobile connectivity: Dublin, Cork, North Dublin and Kildare. For transport links: Cork, Galway, Dublin and Sligo. For health, fitness & well-being Galway came in tops for access to leisure facilities and green spaces, essential for achieving a good quality of life. To rank our towns, we summed the index scores for distance to leisure centres and outdoor sports facilities, the number of public parks, and access to national parks and coastlines. Top 5 towns for health & well-being: Galway, Dublin, Wicklow, Cork and Arklow For shopping & eating Killarney was the best place for your weekly shop, grab a bite to eat, or catch up over coffee. To find our top towns, we summed the index scores for the number of major supermarkets and cafes in the area. Top 5 towns to shop, eat and refresh: Killarney, Ballina, Cavan, Gorey, Longford Commercial Director of Switcher.ie, Eoin Clarke says: "The Work-Life Balance Act 2023 ushered in a new era of working arrangements for many employees. It meant that workers with families or caregiving responsibilities could seek flexible work options and a better quality of life. Property prices are often a crucial factor for homebuyers, but broadband and mobile connectivity, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to green spaces can have a huge impact when juggling work with family or other commitments. Switcher's research highlights several towns across Ireland that offer young professionals and working families a mix of affordability, accessibility, a superb quality of life, and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity for remote working. Our top performers spanned the country, with Ballina and Sligo on the scenic west coast, Cork in the south, Longford in the heart of Ireland and a cluster of coastal towns on the east coast. If you're starting your hunt for a new home, it could...

eir, Ireland's leading telecommunications provider, today published its Digital Ireland Report, a landmark nationwide study that shows Ireland has become one of the most digitally connected societies in Europe, powered by record investment in fibre and 5G, and an unprecedented surge in data usage. The report tracks Ireland's progress through the first half of the Digital Decade (2019–2025) and finds that demand for connectivity has grown dramatically as digital services become central to daily life, work and business. Overall traffic on eir's broadband network has more than doubled since 2019, driven by the rollout of 1GB fibre and explosive growth in data-hungry apps and services. Average household usage on high-speed fibre has risen by 61% in five years, from the equivalent of 6.2 hours to almost 10 hours of HD video per day, while data carried on eir's mobile network has grown sevenfold over the same period. Highlights of the report include: — Consumer use: Major social and sporting events have become powerful barometers of Ireland's 'always-on' digital habits (for example, data usage at Electric Picnic on eir's mobile network has grown sixfold since 2022). In parallel, traditional fixed-line calling has continued to decline, with minutes falling by 57% since late 2021, even as mobile voice use remains broadly stable. — Regional: Counties such as Cavan, Meath and Offaly are leading a nationwide surge in data consumption, with average monthly usage up nearly 80% since 2019. Top and bottom counties for household data usage (2024): Highest: Kildare – 7,800 GB per household Lowest: Sligo – 5,800 GB per household — Online: The report also confirms Ireland's position as a European leader in digital skills and online participation: more than seven in ten people now have basic or better digital skills. Ecommerce continues at pace – almost all internet users shopped online in 2024. — Business: There is a growing digital divide in enterprises, with a slowing in digital intensification amongst SMEs, and evidence pointing to a low rate of take-up amongst smaller businesses in high-speed data capability. — Older people: Older customers are less likely to have availed of high-speed broadband service and are twice as likely to rely on older and slower copper lines compared with younger customers. — Future needs: The report highlights the expectation that the data traffic volumes will continue to grow at a high rate for the remainder of the decade, driven by AI transformation, the Internet of Things, and other digital megatrends. The report emphasises the need for digital and related policies to evolve at both an EU and national level to keep pace with the digital transformation and promote the ongoing investment and take-up of digital technology and infrastructure. Oliver Loomes, CEO of eir, said: "At eir, our purpose is to connect for a better Ireland. The findings of our Digital Ireland Report show that, thanks to sustained investment and collaboration, Ireland has undergone a remarkable transformation in digital infrastructure and usage. This report shows that Ireland's Digital Decade is real and measurable – in the way we work, learn, do business and come together at our favourite festivals and matches. Data use has exploded, powered by our investment in fibre and 5G, and Ireland now has the opportunity to be one of the most connected, competitive and inclusive digital societies in the world." He added: "Connectivity also has to mean inclusion; more work is needed in the coming years to ensure all people and businesses can participate in Ireland's Digital Decade. As Ireland's leading connectivity provider, eir is committed to continuing our multibillion-euro investment in fibre and 5G, and to working with Government and partners so that every home, every business and every community can thrive in a truly digital Ireland". Speaking at the launch of the report, Jack Chambers, Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Se...
Oliver is joined by Darren Gaffney, The Cavan comedian who describes himself as a 28 year-old "redneck culchie" from Ireland's quiet yet mental countryside.

Two from two again as the hurlers survived a snarling battle with Galway in Salthill while the footballers beat the Leinster champions Louth on the road.The Echo Sport Podcast crew reflect on a brilliant weekend for the Rebels, particularly the footballers who made it back to back wins in their opening two Division 2 games for the first time. They'd lost twice in recent years in the league in Louth, along with an All-Ireland qualifier exit, so this was a significant result which puts John Cleary's side in a strong position for promotion.Having Steven Sherlock up front along with Brian Hurley, Mark Cronin and goal-scorer Chris Óg Jones gives Cork a balanced scoring threat up front and storming into an eight-point lead at half-time put the visitors in control.They've now got a weekend off before visiting Offaly and they're at home to Meath at the end of the month. If they can build on this momentum they'll be well set before trips to Derry and Tyrone in March.Most importantly they'll get the Cork public back behind them if they can put a winning streak together and we saw how crucial the crowd was to their late rally in the opening round victory over Cavan in the Páirc.The hurlers up against a fired-up Galway who made all the early running on Saturday night. Down seven points and way well the mark in terms of intensity, Cork showed a lot of experience and character to turn it around at Pearse Stadium.They hurled on the edge at times but were far more clinical than the Tribe and were able to get through for goal chances in the second half with Brian Hayes finishing two of them. The introduction of Hayes and Tim O'Mahony added heft but also showed how seriously Ben O'Connor and his management team are taking the league.They'll certainly be fully tuned in on Saturday night in front of 25,000 at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh for an All-Ireland final rematch against Tipp, who have also won their first two league matches. It'll be the Rebels' third game in 13 days and while the mid-April Munster championship meeting is the priority, Cork won't want to give any quarter here.With a gap of three weeks until an away game with Kilkenny, victory this weekend would put defending champions Cork in a strong position to return to the league final.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two from two at a cold but sunny Páirc, Cork fans can't have too many complaints after the opening round of the league and the Echo Podcast crew review the action.The Ben O'Connor era got off to an ideal start as the Cork hurlers eased to a 3-25 to 1-17 victory over Waterford.In front of a bumper crowd of 20,464 at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the Rebels were in clinical form against an inexperienced Déise in the opening quarter as they led 0-11 to 0-3.Alan Connolly and Declan Dalton raised first-half green flags, and newcomer William Buckley added a third goal in the second half before picking up the TG4 Man of the Match. Buckley was a star underage attacker for Cork and showed his potential at the top level, as his touch, movement and accuracy stood out.The more experienced crew of Seán O'Donoghue, Niall O'Leary and Mark Coleman didn't put a foot wrong while Rob Downey and Shane Barrett were terrific in the first half and Tommy O'Connell had a stormer in the second.Still, it's only the league, Waterford were understrength and there's the matter of a free-taker, post-Patrick Horgan.In the footballers' league opener, they rallied from seven points down to squeeze out Cavan 0-24 to 2-17 with Steven Sherlock nailing the crucial injury-time two-pointer.What a boost it is to have him back in situ.Mark Cronin, Chris Óg Jones, and Seán McDonnell clipped the scores to set up the grandstand finish. There were a few standout performers, and with Derry losing and Tyrone drawing their opening league games, Cork are in a strong position heading to Louth.However, questions will be asked about coughing up two goals on home turf even if it did set the stage for the comeback.In ladies football, Katie Quirke's late free gave Cork a 1-10 to 2-7 draw against Kildare at MTU, while Rochestown College made a disappointing exit in the Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final.At third level, UCC are in Fitzgibbon Cup and Sigerson action on the road while MTU Cork will be eager to make home advantage count in their Fitz quarter-final.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

It wasn't really Noreen's day playing Rhyme It this morning to start the week. However, we did have fun chatting to her.
The Echo Podcast crew return just in time for the throw-in of the national hurling and football leagues.Cork footballers take on Cavan before the hurlers host Waterford in an attractive double-header in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, where both teams need a winning start to the campaign.John Cleary's charges got a boost with a first competitive victory in Killarney since 1995 over Kerry, albeit in the McGrath Cup final, which won't be causing the old enemy to lose any sleep.Still, late points from Brian Hurley and Chris Óg Jones gave the Rebels the narrowest of victories in a game where the contentious new rules that lead to frees being advanced 50 metres worked in their favour.Cork have been in the lower leagues since 2016 and haven't really looked like returning, largely down to slow starts to the season. With four away games, they'll need to pick up points on home turf.Clearly and his management team are vastly experienced at this stage but the vibes are more positive at this stage than they were last year, with a decent blend of youth and experience.The hurlers won't be prioritising the secondary competition after ending a 27-year wait for silverware last term but Ben O'Connor will be eager to get wins on the board early to allow them to look at their options in the coming weeks. The new bainisteoir has already stated there won't be radical change but tactically there will be tweaks from the long-ball style of last year.It's a hectic time of year, with UCC and MTU Cork, who have impressed to date, busy with the Fitzgibbon Cup.There's a look at the form of both Cork teams in preseason, as well as a breakdown of the recent Fitzgibbon and Sigerson action and the Corn Uí Mhuirí and Harty matches.There's a discussion of the appointment of Ian Maguire and Darragh Fitzgibbon as Cork captains, replacing Brian Hurley and Rob Downey. Plus they flag up the young players to watch in the coming weeks and examine the prospects of the rookies who are on the hurling and football squads.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

This week, we look at the rapidly shifting landscape of digital defense, where the line between "smart computing" and true Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly blurred. As criminals begin to use Large Language Models to craft flawless phishing emails and bespoke malware, the "human factor" is being tested like never before.We're asking a vital question: Is it time to stop blaming the user and start building better guardrails? From the "confidently wrong" nature of AI decision-making to the terrifying reality of supply chain attacks like SolarWinds, we explore why the old methods of "detect and react" are no longer enough to keep businesses safe.In our interview this week, we talk about the journey of cybersecurity with Danny Jenkins, co-founder of ThreatLocker. From his early days as an apprentice in Cavan to leading a global security firm in Florida, Danny explains the evolution of "Zero Trust" and why the most dangerous hacking tools today might look exactly like your iPhone charging cable.—-----Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTubehttps://www.podfollow.com/tech

A new report on GAA demographics has found that 66% of Clare's population growth in recent years has been attributed to migration, both foreign and domestic, while the county is judged to have a low birth rate. Another significant finding from the demographics report is that Clare, along with Kerry, Cavan, Waterford, Tyrone, Donegal and Laois, has an outlying single large club, which was found to be affecting the competitive landscape. The GAA's National Demographic Committee have unveiled recommendations to tackle the issues outlined in the report, including targeted growth of new and existing clubs and support for clubs that struggle to field 15 players. To find out more, Alan Morrissey spoke with Clare GAA's Demographics Officer, Neil O'Brien.

Students from four Cavan secondary schools gathered in Briefne College for the launch of the 2025/26 All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO) workshop series by Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, and TD for Cavan-Monaghan, Niamh Smyth. Students and teachers from St Patrick's College, Loreto Cavan and Royal School Cavan joined their counterparts in Breifne College for an interactive AILO workshop run by Dr Cara Greene from the Research Ireland ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University. Breifne College teacher, Alma Hitillambeau, has hosted local schools for the last number of years helping increase participation across the county. Speaking at the launch, Minister Smyth said: "Across government, we are working to ensure that current and future generations are in a position to explore and understand the world around us, to be engaged and informed, to embrace opportunities and make their own decisions. We must inspire todays young people to become lifelong learners, and provide them with the skills and opportunity to identify and solve the challenges that lie ahead." Dr Cara Greene, Head of AILO at ADAPT, said: "It is wonderful to celebrate that more than 50,000 students across the island of Ireland have taken part in AILO since 2009. Workshops like today's introduce students to the logic, structure and pattern-matching at the heart of language and these are the same principles that underpin modern AI systems. We are grateful to schools like Breifne College for championing these workshops, and for their ongoing leadership and enthusiasm." The workshop series runs until mid-January. The Preliminary Round will take place in schools across Ireland during the week of 26th January 2026, with 100 top-scoring students advancing to the National Final in Dublin City University in March. Finalists will compete for a place to represent Ireland at the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) in Romania in July 2026. Schools can register for AILO at https://ailo.adaptcentre.ie/enter/ See more stories here.

Teagasc hosted the National Dairy Conference last week in both Clonmel and Cavan, and the theme of the conference was, ‘Pathways to Progress', with key sessions on milk price and key farm performance priorities, collaborative farming arrangements and driving further progress in Irish dairy breeding. James Dunne caught up with Joe Patton, Martina Gormley and Stuart Childs to gain an insight into some of the main messages from the conference.

Edmund Motherway, from Ladysbridge, near Midleton, was the Overall Winner of the Student Section of the Sustainable Grassland Farmer of the Year Awards and he joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge. Edmund was always interested in farming as a child, however, due to the scale of the home farm, he didn't think he had a future in farming. A transition year placement at a nearby father and son partnership opened his eyes to ways to potentially making farming a viable career option. Edmund is now farming in partnership with his father and they have expanded their land base in the last 12-18 months through leasing and as a result have pushed up their cow numbers. Edmund also acknowledges the significant influence that the two farmers that he did his placements with have had on him and how he got such benefit from his time with them. Finally, he outlines what he would like to see to encourage generational renewal including a potential incentive to lease to a young farmer or revision of TAMS costings to more accurately reflect the true cost of machinery and building works so that a 40% grant would be just that. He is hopeful that other opportunities to expand will present themselves and that they will be in a position to act on them if they come. Don't forget, this week the National Dairy Conferences are being held in Clonmel and Cavan on November 26th and 27th and for more info, go to: https://teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/events/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com
Joe Patton, Head of Dairy Knowledge Transfer in Teagasc, joins Stuart Childs on the latest Dairy Edge to preview the upcoming Dairy Conferences. With sudden drops in milk price catching many farmers off guard and even many of those who work in the area of forecasting prices, Joe explains, however, that the best-performing farms remain the best ones regardless of price cycles. Farmers shouldn't overhaul their system each time the price rises or falls. Instead, consistent fundamentals — good cows, strong grazing management, stable stocking rates and control of costs are what carry farms through the lows of the volatility cycle. High-margin farms succeed because they invest strategically rather than overspending on the back of a good year only to find themselves short of cash in a tight year. Joe emphasises the need for cash planning, avoiding impulsive “tax-driven” spending and having approximately €500 per cow available to get through to the next big milk cheques in late spring. Joe also highlights the long-term value created by EBI-driven genetic improvement, the growing role of data (grass prediction tools, cost benchmarks), and the importance of collaborative farming and succession planning. These enable better decision-making, smoother transitions between generations, and continued productivity despite policy and cost pressures. If you want to hear more on these topics, you are welcome to attend the National Dairy Conferences in either Clonmel or Cavan on November 26th and 27th and for more info, go to: https://teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/events/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com
