  3. News Headlines | Around 350 Irish-based jobs under threat at Meta

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Around 350 jobs in Meta’s Irish operation are now at risk as the company begins notifying staff of its global plan to cut 8,000 positions – roughly 10 % of its workforce. Meta, which employs about 1,800 people in Ireland, has filed a collective redundancy notice with the Department of Enterprise, but has not detailed how the cuts will affect the local workforce, saying any redundancies will follow Irish law and government guidelines. The reductions are tied to a broader shift toward AI, with senior executives indicating that many tasks previously handled by large teams will soon be performed by a single specialist, and a fresh round of organisational changes is expected to streamline AI workflows. The Irish government has pledged support for affected employees, while trade unions and Labour representatives have warned that the wave of tech layoffs highlights the need for a national strategy to protect jobs and manage the rapid adoption of AI in the workplace.

  4. News Headlines | Tesla in talks with Irish Govt on self-driving approval

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Tesla is negotiating with the Irish government—and other EU nations—to gain approval for its “full self‑driving” (FSD) software, which it classifies as a Level 2+ driver‑assistance system that can control braking, acceleration and steering while requiring the driver’s active supervision. The Netherlands has already granted preliminary approval after extensive testing, and Tesla hopes to roll out the feature across the EU as early as this summer, seeing European approval as key to reversing a 27 % sales decline. In Ireland, the Department of Transport confirms ongoing talks with regulators but cannot set a timeline; recent amendments to the Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023 now permit Level 2 systems, though none are yet in public use. Regulators in Sweden, Norway and Finland have raised safety concerns about the software’s tendency to speed and its performance on icy roads, while US authorities are investigating crash reports. Researchers note that Level 3 and Level 4 autonomy—allowing drivers to look away from the road or enabling near‑full automation—remain the longer‑term goal, with sensor technology and stronger oversight seen as essential for future deployment.

  5. News Headlines | Fears for 150 Irish-based jobs at Oracle

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The Irish Department of Enterprise has received a collective redundancy notification from Oracle indicating that roughly 150 Irish‑based roles are at risk, though the exact figure was not confirmed. The planned cuts are part of a broader global downsizing as Oracle ramps up spending on artificial‑intelligence to compete with rivals such as Alphabet and Amazon, and the company has not responded to requests for comment. The article also mentions similar redundancy notifications for other tech firms—outsourcing company Covalen and Meta—but the immediate focus is the potential loss of about 150 jobs at Oracle’s Irish operation.

  8. On the topic of the #IrishGovernment's new accountability and target-free housing plan to address the #HousingCrisis

  9. CW: Iepol, speaking rights row, Verona Murphy

    You are either in the government or you're not. It's that simple, you can't support the government and be considered in opposition. Loads of people are mad about this and the government parties just aren't listening. It's an insult to democracy and the paternalistic reaction of the government is bullshit. Jim Walsh 2.0 should be dumped.

  10. Surely it's possible for the #IrishGovernment to end the housing crisis by a combination of a stonking tax on unused buildings and sites, and a stonking grant to buyers for remaking the same buildings into cosy homes? #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland google.com/maps/@53.3024285,-8

  11. I do enjoy spam threats from the government.

    Yes, Mr Varadkar, I would like a job or some contract work too. That would be nice! I didn't expect to be unemployed this long either! 🙃

    I applied for a job yesterday and have actively been trying to find even short term contract work! I would rather not be unemployed...

  12. So what does the #NI SoS intend to do #DUP refusing to do their jobs then? Will he remove the rest of their wages? Will he reform Stormont to prevent this from happening again.

    If he doesn't, is he prepared to introduce #Jointauthority with a role for the #IrishGovernment? It is time to sort this out for good

  13. #Sunak could always instruct the #SoS to remove the last of MLA'S wages, collapse #Stormont permanently, introduce #DirectRule with a role for the #IrishGovernment, as they are partners with the #British in relation to #GFA25, hand more powers to the local councils. Most importantly, start the serious work of preparing for a vote on constitutional change.

    He can let Jeff know that time is up. The #DUP have no friends left at Westminster and it is time to #gettowork

  14. @harriettmb I wonder if the #DUP really want Stormont brought down? Jeffrey can't really think that he has any influence in #Westminster after the vote on the #WindsorFramework passed so overwhelmingly. He can't even say the #ERG backed him because they supported his position. They used him in an attempt to weaken #Sunak, which failed! He knows that #DirectRule from WM will not be tolerated by #SinnFein & the #IrishGovernment.

    The #DUP will sit on the sidelines while English ministers run this

  15. Thinking more on the Irish Gov's response to the #SupremeCourt on #CETA

    1. Given what is happening elsewhere on arbitration & the Energy Charter Treaty - is this not a fine moment for the EU itself to step away from those bits of #CETA

    2. Bringing in legis & staying in the frame of both #IrishConstitution & #CETA is much more difficult (impossible?) than is being suggested
