'Significant blow' as Accenture to cut 890 Irish jobs

The announcement marks the company's second round of mass layoffs so far this year

Employing 6,500 people across Ireland, Accenture announced plans last year to cut 19,000 jobs worldwide, roughly 2.5% of its entire workforce.

Global consultancy firm, Accenture will cut hundreds of additional jobs from its Irish workforce, marking its second round of mass layoffs since the start of this year.

Cutting 400 jobs in March, the company was largely impacted by layoffs at tech giant, Meta, which has cut around 900 Irish jobs in total since November last year.
