I am aware that the company in question has announced plans to restructure its global operations. I understand, however, that this process is still ongoing. The potential impact, if any, on the company's Irish operations is therefore still unclear.
I want to emphasise that as soon as details emerged about this planned restructuring, I asked IDA Ireland to engage with the company to help secure the best possible outcome for their workers in Ireland. The Agency has been in regular contact with the firm's management since and it will continue to work with the company to safeguard its continued presence in the State.
