The Government has been told that Diageo is planning to cut its number of Irish-based jobs.
With its Irish headquarters based at Saint James's Gate, Dublin, and breweries located in Newbridge, the Guinness producer employs around 1,200 people in Ireland.

Minister for Public Expenditure, Jack Chambers, says it's worrying:
It is not known if jobs at the Newbridge-based breweries will be impacted.
Kfm News has contacted Diageo Ireland for comment.
Last month, Diageo opened its second brewery, Littleconnell Brewery, in Newbridge, at a cost of almost €300 million.
Further investment of €400 million is planned for Littleconnell over the next three years, including the addition of Guinness and Guinness 0.0 production.
