O2 Ireland to shed 120 jobs in bid ‘to ensure growth’

O2 Ireland is to cut some 120 jobs from its 1,100-strong Irish workforce, following a comprehensive review of the business.

Telefónica Ireland, which operates the O2 brand, confirmed that pending the completion of staff consultation, it is seeking the voluntary redundancies after the review identified a need to reduce its cost base, inclu-ding employee numbers.

The voluntary redundancy process is open to all employees with the exception of customer care and retail staff.
