Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)

5:00 pm

Ms Carolan Lennon:

We had 2,300 before we lost our voluntary redundancy scheme. We have approximately 2,700 now and we have got more people to exit. We recently announced a change of strategy, and we are bringing customer-facing staff who have up to now been with outsourced service providers back in house. We want people dealing with our customers to work for Eir. That will change the number over the next little while.
