Easons says it expects there will be some redundancies as part of its €24m cost-cutting plan over the next three years.
The bookshop chain says it does not have a figure for the number of job cuts but it is starting consultations with unions and shareholders from today.
The company employs 1,000 people in 60 outlets around Ireland.
Along with the cost-cutting plan, Easons is investing €20m over the same time period in a bid to reposition the company.
