Ireland's regional office market recorded take-up of approximately 20,400 sq m during the first half of 2026 across Cork, Galway and Limerick-Shannon, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest Ireland Regional Offices MarketBeat report. While activity moderated compared to the exceptionally strong levels recorded in H1 2025, occupier demand remained resilient for high-quality, centrally located office accommodation, particularly in Cork, which accounted for almost two-thirds of regional take-up.

Data for the first half of 2025 show that office market take-up across regional Ireland (including the Cork, Galway and Limerick-Shannon office markets) rose to approximately 44,600 square metres (approximately 480,000 square feet) compared to 18,200 square metres (approximately 195,900 square feet) for the same period in 2024.
