Further job cuts announced as IT company transfers to Asia

MORE Irish jobs have been lost to a low-cost Asian economy.

Following the transfer of 500 insurance industry jobs last week to India, a Shannon-based company, Avocent International has said 57 of its 160 workers will be let go as it transfers work to Singapore.

The job losses came with uncertainty hanging over 200 jobs at the Limerick-based Dunne hotel group.
