More than 600 people have signed a petition calling on the Irish arm of healthcare technology firm, Merative to allow more than 250 employees at risk of redundancy more time to consult with management.

Attending a protest outside its Dublin offices on Thursday, at-risk staff called for talks to continue beyond the mandatory timeframe, with one adding that Merative still had "no plan in place," for employees.
