About DigiClare
DigiClare is a digital initiative led by the Digital Transformation Department of Clare County Council. Our mission is simple: to make sure everyone in County Clare can access modern digital services—whether you’re working remotely, studying, starting a business, or just need reliable internet in your community.
We’re committed to improving digital access and broadband infrastructure across the county, ensuring that rural communities are never left behind.
DigiClare manages a network of 11 Digital Hubs throughout Clare, providing flexible workspaces, high-speed connectivity, and facilities that help people stay connected and work smarter. From hot desks and private pods to co-working spaces and conference facilities, our hubs are designed to support local businesses, entrepreneurs, students, remote workers, and visitors alike.
Our goal is to empower communities, drive innovation, and make Clare a leader in digital transformation.
