Jobs safe at GE Healthcare in Cork

Jobs at GE Healthcare in Cork are safe despite its parent firm slashing 6,500 positions across Europe.

US conglomerate General Electric confirmed the job losses as it seeks some $3bn (€2.76bn) in cost savings following its takeover of French company Alstom’s power business last November.

The cuts will see 1,700 positions scrapped in Germany and a further 765 in France.
