Paddy Power owner Flutter does not anticipate 'significant' job losses in Ireland as it evolves its online offering

The company employs about 12,000 staff in its 230 retail shops across the Republic

Last year, Flutter announced it would permanently shutter 21 Paddy Power bookies in the Republic, affecting 78 jobs.

Paddy Paddy owner Flutter said it did not envisage “significant” job losses in Ireland, as the betting giant continues to move more operations online.

Speaking after a trading update, Flutter’s chief financial officer Paul Edgecliffe-Johnson said the company’s retail presence across the Republic was “still important” as it continued its “evolution from retail to online”.
