Hi,
just stumbled across this…
Did anything ever come of it, sounds like a brilliant idea to me.

Definitely interested in this too. City centre would be great but not too important if a location in the suburbs had parking.
Again I’d happily pay the monthly fee even if I don’t use all the time.
Maybe there could be one or two desks which could be rented out on a daily basis, pre-booked a week or so in advance for those ‘occasionals’ – dunno if that would work though.
24 access is important.

Not sure if it will make sense for me yet but definitely put me on the interested list.

I’d be interested for 1 day a week – agree with wifi and coffee comments above. Also need to think about travel, either hand for park-and-ride or cheap parking nearby. Of course if I was being really good, I’d take the bus.

I’d be on for it. 24 hr access would be nice tho. Some of us have day ~~jobs~~ hobbies that may get in the way of the real work.

I don’t care about VOIP and I’m pretty sure everyone uses mobiles, so with a big pipe everyone can sort out their own skype/whatever for occasional conference calls, etc.

WiFi, however, is a must-have.

I’d charge a random day rate to my friend James of €25, same as the weekly rate for the steady goers.

AFAIC, it must be city centre, by which I mean walkable to coffee in under three minutes.

And for the record, I’ll happily pay the monthly whack and never use my desk (I like all you people but I prefer my turret of gloom and my PJs, thanks) just to use the conference room when I need it.

Alternatively, you can just charge me €100 a go for that, I guess

Yes lots going on in this ‘space’ at the mo.

Blick studios has just launched in Belfast which is not just focused on technical/web freelancers but anyone working in broader creative industries.

It’s also worth check out the hub in London – hubs modelled on this one, most with a social enterprise focus, are popping up all over the world. They’ve also got a whole ‘franchise’ like set of tools you can buy into. Most people hotdesk, use board/meeting rooms and take part in events etc.

Please include me – Have tried to access Hot Desking before just for the benefits of interacting with other people in a similar line of work… But no success. This sounds like a winner – I will spread the word.

[...] Pat Phelan, Mulley and others hit on an idea they should have started long ago – superefficient office sharing. Arising from a Twitter discussion. Love it. If you’re Cork and interested, read more. Or read more about the existing co-working networks in Dublin or Belfast, here. [...]
