Comments on: Longest commute in Ireland – So much for teleworking http://www.mulley.net/2006/04/22/longest-commute-in-ireland-so-much-for-teleworking/ Invisible people have invisible rights Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:55:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ronan Flood http://www.mulley.net/2006/04/22/longest-commute-in-ireland-so-much-for-teleworking/comment-page-1/#comment-439939 Ronan Flood Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:32:45 +0000 http://www.mulley.net/?p=1135#comment-439939 I'm in Blessington commuting into RTE in Donnybrook... luckily the hours are flexible so a potential 1hour 45min at 7:30-8am turns into a doable 45-50 min at 9am.... you gotta love that M50... or not! I'm actually researching for a new program in RTE called Not Enough Hours. It's a Lifestyles program based around time management and helping people make a positive impact on it. I've been charged with finding a commuter who would be willing to take part... a difficult task because they're all on busses or in their cars... anywho if any of you are interested in taking part in the program why don't you give me a call on 01 2084587.

I've heard of people doing Dungannon -> Portadown -> Dublin -> Blackrock -> Sandyford on a daily basis - about 3 hours each way if the train isn't late.

No doubt the Yellowstone Park guy could get broadband, even if only of the satellite variety. Well, realistically, teleworking isn’t always an option, no matter what connectivity you have.

Damien Mulley has been writing about a Cisco employee in the US who commutes for an average of 7 hours every day to and from work, and is interested to find out about Ireland’s longest average commute, which I’m sure is going to come from someone living down the country and working in Dublin every day. I know I personally spend just under three hours commuting every day to and from Temple Bar, let us know what your commute is either here or on Damien’s site.

In fairness if a broadband company sponsored this, they could leverage it to highlight the poor state of the LLU process. Nice redesign of the site.
