Whether you are working from home, going into the office, or not working at all, the structures to how we carry out our jobs have changed, and changes that will continue in a post-pandemic world.
With plans for more than 400 rural digital hubs to be created across the country, we spoke to those involved in these setups as part of our Reimaging Ireland series.
Reporter Josh Crosbie visited The Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen in West Cork.

The Ludgate Hub opened in 2016 and is Ireland's first rural digital hub, which caters for up to 75 people pre-covid.
Josh spoke with CEO Grainne O'Keeffe, Damien Long from TravelMaster Ireland, Aine Scully from Elite Aero Ireland and James Hamilton from Skibbereen Chamber of Commerce.
