Vodafone Ireland to cut 150 jobs

Vodafone is seeking 150 job cuts in its Irish workforce.

The company has said it hopes to achieve the redundancies through a voluntary programme.

Vodafone said it has begun a review of operations in order to compete effectively in an increasingly challenging economic environment.

The company is beginning a month-long consultation process with unions and employees.

Vodafone Ireland currently employs 1,500 staff and has its headquarters in Sandyford, Dublin.
