STAYING CONNECTED TO the capital is essential for many people who need to go into an office every day or a few times a week.
More flexible working arrangements have given house hunters the opportunity to look at counties bordering Dublin where they might find more space and value for money.
This week, we’ve found four homes that are all commuting distance from the city letting you enjoy the best of both worlds.
