Description

Vodafone Ireland has informed staff that is is seeking approximately 130 redundancies, following a review of its organisational structure and costs. The company is consulting staff and unions about the plans, stating that the job losses are expected to be through voluntary redundancies and early retirement.

'Given the significant deterioration in the market, the decline in consumer spending and the impact this has had across the telecoms industry, we have to review all costs within our business to ensure we're operating efficiently and delivering good value to our customers,' said the company's HR director Francesco Bianco .
