Courier company DHL Express is seeking 320 redundancies. It is closing seven regional depots - in Athlone, Galway, Sligo, Cavan, Enniscorthy, Waterford and Tralee. It is also restructuring operations at depots in Dublin, Cork and Limerick.
The company says it is scaling back its domestic services but focusing on its core business, which is international express delivery. DHL will meet unions tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Cork-based Option Wireless, which makes technology for wireless communications, says it is looking for 55 redundancies.
It said the decision had been taken due to falling global demand and a re-organisation of operations throughout the company, which is based in Belgium.
The company's plant at the Kilbarry Industrial Estate is responsible for customising its basic products by adding software.
