One way? That's anything but normal. Even if it's two-way it's nowhere near the norm. The EU records this for pretty much all member states, and Ireland shows an average of 28 minutes.[0] > In 2019, more than half (61.3%) of employed people in the EU traveled less than 30 minutes from home to work. You are correct that Ireland is part of the group of countries which has a larger subset of people with long commutes, but hovering around 10% is not what I'd call "normal". > The largest shares of the longest commuting times were observed in Latvia (13.5%), Ireland (11.2%), Belgium (10.7%) and Hungary (10.6%), where more than 10% of employed people had to travel from home to work for 60 minutes or more.
