This week Accenture announced they are to cut a further 890 staff from their Irish workforce. The news comes just months after their last round of redundancies, which saw 400 staff let go from the company in March.

To discuss the job losses, the reaction from staff and the wider issues facing the tech sector, Ciarán Hancock is joined by Ian McArdle, Deputy Secretary General of the Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) and by Phil Codd, Managing Director of Expleo in Ireland.
