Worldport, a provider of Internet infrastructure solutions to corporates, will shed 15 of its 127 staff just three months after opening its $70 million (#82.8 million) state-of-the-art facility in Dublin.

A company spokeswoman confirmed yesterday the company was shedding the jobs at its European operations centre in Blanchardstown.

She said the redundancies would reduce duplication in the workforce following the recent acquisition of UK web hosting firm, Hostmark.
