The Irish Times reported that cuts would begin ‘in the summer’ and could affect a wide array of role types.

Up to 150 Ireland-based jobs are at risk at US software giant Oracle, amounting to a 16pc reduction of its approximately 900-strong Irish workforce.

As first reported by The Irish Times, Oracle is thought to have begun yesterday (29 April) the required statutory period of consultation with impacted staff following delivery of a notice of collective redundancies to the Department of Enterprise.

The Irish Times wrote that the cuts would begin “in the summer” and could affect an array of roles encompassing engineering and technical, sales, consulting, finance, and administration.
