Aviva could cut as many as 1,000 jobs
This would double the number of job losses suggested two weeks ago when RTÉ reported that 500 jobs were under threat.
Last night Prime Time said it had since seen documents suggesting Aviva, which employs 2,000 people here, plans to cut its Irish workforce by 800 to 1,000 under a programme known as Operation Accelerate. It is believed to be considering reducing the number of branches from 26 to 11 and is looking at more automation to reduce staff numbers.
