I've read conflicting articles about the 800 job losses; some reports saying that the majority of cuts will come from Ireland as voluntary early retirements and redundancies, but others saying the effect will be across all offices. I'd be interested if anyone has more accurate information!

Unfortunately the actual figure is 900, equating to 37% of the overall workforce.

In a move that was unseen the Administrators have decided to keep all offices open and to reduce the workforce within each of them.

Its unlikely that many will apply for voluntary redundancy, the package on offer is not attractive, and the workforce is relatively young.

The majority of cuts will come from Ireland, however the UK has been hit hard as well with 44 jobs going in Manchester and 179 going in Enniskillen.

I would assume the the offices in London, Navan and Manchester will be sold off as the workforce and operations on these sites are too small to justify their existence.
