Vodafone Ireland has told staff it is looking to cut its workforce by around 130, following a review of its organisational structure and costs.
The company is consulting staff and unions about the plans, adding that the reductions 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 .
Vodafone Ireland currently employs around 1,200 people.
