TikTok is cutting up to 300 positions at its Dublin operations, a move that trims approximately 10% of its roughly 3,000-person local workforce. The company says it also plans to create new roles, though the net effect on Dublin’s tech employment picture remains unclear.
The announcement, formally communicated to Irish authorities in early March 2025, reflects a company trying to navigate an increasingly hostile regulatory environment while keeping its European hub operational.
A pattern, not an anomaly
This isn’t TikTok’s first round of cuts in Dublin. In 2024, the company’s training and content quality teams in the city already absorbed hundreds of job losses as part of earlier restructuring efforts.
The Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) has stepped in to offer support to affected employees.
