HP to cut 204 jobs at Irish plants

HEWLETT-PACKARD is to cut 204 jobs at its Irish operations, a figure which accounts for around 5% of its total workforce here.

The cuts are part of a global restructuring programme at the computer equipment giant, which was announced earlier this summer.

In total, the company plans to cull 14,500 jobs worldwide over the next two years. The company employs 150,000 people in total around the world.
