Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the current retrenchment in Ireland’s tech sector will continue but that the sector will grow again in the medium to long term given the demand for future digital technologies.

On a visit to Cork on Thursday where he visited the Apple campus in Hollyhill and saw the ongoing construction works for the site’s expansion, Mr Varadkar was asked about the 890 job cuts announced by Accenture this week.
