Dozens of lay-offs have been reported at a multi-national company based in Dublin City.
A source confirmed at least 45 people have been laid off at the Dublin branch of Equifax, a US data, analytics and technology company.
One hundred and fifty new positions were announced by the company in 2017, according to Independent.ie, with the view of expanding its total Irish workforce to over 350 people.
