Irish jobs in the firing line as LinkedIn plans to cut global workforce 

It is too early to know how many LinkedIn jobs may go in Ireland, but it has already been suggested that the job cut level here could mirror the 6% being planned globally.

The planned development at Dublin's Wilton Park where LinkedIn booked an additional 430,000 sq ft of office space earlier this year.

LinkedIn’s Irish-based employees will likely be impacted by the social media giant’s plan to cut 6% of its global workforce.

The company, whose platform is used by business professionals, employs nearly 2,000 people at its growing base in Dublin, which acts as its headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
