Multinational computer company Dell has laid off about 60 staff in Dublin and Limerick.
Fifty of the workers were based at the firm's sales and marketing hub in Cherrywood in south Dublin, while 10 others were let go from the company's manufacturing plant in Limerick.
Dell says there had been a "minor reorganisation" of their Irish operations, and that they hoped to find other jobs within the company for some of those affected.
