UK and Germany to suffer in IBM job cuts

IBM said today it will be cutting jobs in the UK, Germany, Italy and France as part of a restructuring that will slash between 10,000 and 13,000 positions, mostly in Europe.

IBM currently employs about 3,700 people in Ireland, most of them at its facility in the Mulhuddart area of west Dublin, 25,000 people in the UK and has 100,000 staff across Europe.
