Up to 150 jobs may be cut at mobile phone company Three Ireland.
The company said it had made the difficult decision to enter a proposed collective redundancy process for the business.
“We expect approximately 130-150 roles may be impacted, although the actual number will be determined in due course,” a spokesperson said.
Prior to this move, Three Ireland said it had implemented a number of measures in a bid to reduce operating costs.
“However, the business continues to experience commercial performance challenges, with lower earnings and margin growth year on year, as operating costs continue to increase,” the spokesperson said.
“The measures announced today position the business on a stronger platform for the future, ensuring it can maintain its market leading position and will enable growth,” the company said.
Three is Ireland’s largest mobile telecommunications provider and has more than 1,300 employees.
Its head office is in Dublin and the company has a customer support centre in Limerick.
