Meta to let go of around 490 employees in Ireland.

Meta le thart ar 490 fostaí in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

American technology giant Meta is to let go of around 490 employees in Ireland.

Tá an t-ollchomhlacht teicneolaíochta Meiriceánach Meta le thart ar 490 fostaí in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

Meta's international headquarters are in Dublin and there are currently 2,600 people working for the company in this country.

Is i mBaile Átha Cliath atá ceanncheathrú idirnáisiúnta Meta agus ballaíocht ar 2,600 duine atá ag obair don chomhlacht sa tír seo faoi láthair.

Full-time employees working in the finance, sales, marketing, analytics, operations and engineering departments will be laid off.

Fostaithe lánaimseartha atá ag obair sna rannóga airgeadais, díolachán, margaíochta, anailísíochta, oibríochtaí agus innealtóireachta bunáite an dreama a leagfar as obair.

It is estimated that a redundancy process will be launched shortly and that the employees affected will be consulted.

Meastar go gcuirfear próiseas iomarcaíochta sa siúl gan mhoill agus go rachfar i gcomhairle leis na fostaithe a bheas thíos leis.

In addition to Meta's full-time employees, approximately 6,000 other people in Ireland provide contract support services to the company.

Chomh maith le fostaithe lánaimseartha Meta, cuireann tuairim is 6,000 duine eile in Éirinn seirbhísí tacaíochta ar fáil ar conradh don chomhlacht.

Meta owns the globally popular digital platforms Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Is le Meta na hardáin dhigiteacha Facebook, Instagram agus WhatsApp a bhfuil tóir ábhalmhór orthu ar fud an domhain.

Last November, the company let 11,000 employees go to different countries around the world, including 300 in this country.

I mí na Samhna seo caite, lig an comhlacht 11,000 fostaí chun siúil i dtíortha éagsúla ar fud an domhain, 300 sa tír seo ina measc.

It was claimed at the time that the cuts were caused by the unsustainable overgrowth of the international technology sector over several years.

Maíodh ag an am gurbh é an rófhás neamh- inmharthana a tháinig le roinnt blianta ar an earnáil teicneolaíochta idirnáisiúnta ba chúis leis na ciorruithe.

In March this year, Meta announced that another 10,000 employees around the world were to be let go as well and it is understood that the news received by the workers in Ireland today is related to that announcement.

I mí an Mhárta i mbliana, thug Meta fios go rabhthas le 10,000 fostaí eile ar fud an domhain a ligean chun siúil chomh maith agus tuigtear go mbaineann an scéala a fuair na hoibrithe in Éirinn inniu, go mbaineann sé leis an bhfógra úd.

Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said in March that the company would have to prioritize the efficiency of the company above all else.

Dúirt an príomhfheidhmeannach Mark Zuckerberg i mí an Mhárta go gcaithfeadh an comhlacht tús áite a thabhairt feasta d'éifeachtúlacht an chomhlachta thar aon ní eile.
