A Dublin-based electronics firm today announced more than 130 redundancies.
The electronics manufacturer Sanmina-SCI said the jobs would go at its plant in Blanchardstown.
This move was part of a consolidation of its Irish operations in the light of the current global downturn, a statement said.
The company employs a further 600 people at Fermoy, Co Cork, and said it hoped to boost the workforce there when business picked up again.
