Medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific has informed the Government of potential job cuts at its Irish operation.<\/p>\n
Last week, the company’s board approved a global restructuring plan aimed at cutting costs which it said would lead to some job losses.<\/p>\n
It is not yet known how many roles are at risk in Ireland but the Department of Enterprise has confirmed that it received a collective redundancy notification from Boston Scientific on 22 July.<\/p>\n
Such notifications are required in cases of 30 or more potential job losses.<\/p>\n
Boston Scientific has been operating in Ireland for the last 30 years, with over 7,000 employees across sites in Galway, Cork and Clonmel.<\/p>\n
The company said its current restructuring programme “includes enhancing operational and functional capabilities as well as global supply chain network optimisation”.<\/p>\n
“In general, we do not break out programme details by business, region or function,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
“Ireland has been an important part of Boston Scientific’s global organisation for more than 30 years. We are committed to our long-term future in the country and recognise the significant contributions our employees in Ireland make across our global business,” the company added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific has informed the Government of potential job cuts at its Irish operation.
