More than 200 jobs are at risk at Ladbrokes bookmakers as part of plans to close up to 39 shops in Ireland.
It is understood that 226 jobs are under threat.
In a statement, Ladbrokes said it continually reviews its retail estate to ensure its business remains competitive and financially sustainable.
A spokesperson said: "These planned closures in the Republic of Ireland are not a decision we take lightly and reflect sustained cost pressures, long‑term changes in customer behaviour and the growing competitive threat from the unlicensed market.
"Our priority now is to engage constructively with colleagues throughout the consultation process, with a strong focus on redeployment wherever possible."
"Ladbrokes remains committed to Ireland and to operating responsibly within a sustainable retail footprint," the company added.
In October 2025, Paddy Power announced plans to close 28 shops in Ireland, putting 119 jobs at risk.
