Boston Scientific could be looking at Irish job cuts

Boston Scientific has informed the Government of potential job cuts at its Irish operation, raising fears for some of the more than 7,000 people the medical device maker employs across Galway, Cork and Clonmel.

The Department of Enterprise confirmed it received a collective redundancy notification from the company on 22 July — a step required whenever 30 or more roles are at risk. It is not yet known how many Irish positions are affected.

Why Boston Scientific is cutting costs

“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 that it does not “break out programme details by business, region or function”, leaving staff waiting for clarity on where any cuts will fall.
