Hi John, Thanks for the suggestion. I have been busy, reason I'm not there at the coffee breaks.
Science Gallery are happy enough to provide the venue for free (during daytime till 8pm) for hack-a-day events, they recently hosted 12 hour game codejam for Trinity's comp soc. I have enquired with a member about having similar events like this at Tog.ie, but I don't think they have the space, plus they mainly cater for members not external groups. I think the Science Gallery would be a good venue, there's free wifi, and as you mentioned, anyone can join remotely as well. All people have to do is suggest what day of the week would suit people (I can hazard a guess that a Saturday or a Sunday). If people have any suggestions of a physical location for people to gather and code, please let us know.
