The Government has been informed of plans by cloud computing firm Oracle to cut jobs in Ireland.
The Department of Enterprise has received a collective redundancy notification from the company.
The department did not confirm how many jobs are at risk but it is understood that around 150 roles are under threat.
Oracle has been contacted for comment.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Oracle is laying off thousands of employees globally as it ramps up spending on artificial intelligence (AI) in an effort to better compete with cloud rivals, such as Alphabet and Amazon.
The company had about 162,000 full-time employees globally as of May 2025.
On Monday, the Department of Enterprise received a collective redundancy notification from outsourcing firm Covalen, which provides services to social media giant Meta.
It is understood that up to 720 jobs are at risk.
In March, Meta announced plans to use advanced AI systems in the future, which it said would reduce its reliance on third-party suppliers for content moderation.
Last week, Meta confirmed plans to cut around 8,000 jobs or 10% of its global workforce.
It is not yet known what impact the layoffs will have on the company’s Irish operation, which directly employs around 1,800 people.
The plans by Oracle to cut jobs in Ireland were first reported by The Irish Times.
