Facebook owner Meta is expected to officially layoff around 50 more people at their Irish operations after the tech giant announced a second round of global job cuts this week.

Meta Ireland indicated the layoffs will impact the company’s recruitment team based here, which is in line with what CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post this week.
