Tesco Ireland has confirmed that 140 jobs are to go at its head office as part of a restructuring operation.
The firm will seek voluntary redundancies.
A spokesman said affected staff will be offered the opportunity of redeployment and retraining for roles elsewhere in Tesco, either in Ireland or abroad.
He added that compulsory redundancies were not envisaged.
Tesco makes annual profits in Ireland of €250m.
