Ireland Government closes the Digital Hub

The Dublin-based #DigitalHub that has served a valuable role as a launchpad for scaling companies is dissolved.

Other #startupcommunities have overshadowed the Digital Hub, but many still felt it had a role to play.

Despite its role as a campus for scaling digital tech companies, the hub also made a valuable contribution locally with its various inclusive programs aimed at local schools and senior citizens.

But the Department of Communications decided to transfer ownership of the enterprise campus to the Land Development Agency (LDA) for use as social and affordable housing.

What do you think? Is this a good decision?
