The cuts come as Meta increases spending on Artificial Intelligence
Facebook parent company Meta is to cut 10% of its global workforce, which would equate to approximately 8,000 staff.
It is not yet known what impact the layoffs will have on the company's Irish operation, which employs around 1,800 people.
According to RTÉ, the job cuts were outlined in a memo to staff, which also stated that the company will not fill thousands of open jobs it had been hiring for.
The cuts come as Meta increases spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Irish-based Meta staff were impacted by a redundancy announcement in January last year, when the company said it would cut around 5% of its "lowest performing" staff globally.
The company previously cut around 840 jobs in Ireland, with rounds of redundancies in November 2022 and again in May 2023.
