The Government said it is working to assist employees facing redundancy at TikTok's Irish operations, after the social media giant confirmed it plans to reduce its Irish workforce next month.  

TikTok employs around 3,000 people in Ireland and up to 300 employees are thought to be affected by the workforce cuts. Enterprise, tourism and employment Minister Peter Burke said on Thursday his department will liaise with affected workers and that there may be opportunities for redeployment for some employees.
