Vodafone blames 150 job losses on competition

VODAFONE yesterday confirmed it is to make 150 staff redundant due to increased competition in the industry.

The mobile phone company employs 1,200 people at its head office in Sandyford in Dublin and a further 300 staff in shops around the country.

Vodafone said it had begun an organisational review of its operations in order to compete effectively in what it described as “a challenging economic environment.”
