Minister for employment ‘concerned’ for staff following Meta staff cuts announcement

Minister for enterprise and employment, Peter Burke, has said he is concerned for Meta staff following an announcement that it is planning to cut about five per cent of staff it considers to be its lowest performers.

Burke said his primary concern following the announcement was for the staff and their families who know must come to terms with it.

“Officials at my department and IDA Ireland are actively engaged with the company in relation to possible impact for its Irish operations,” he said.
