The firm had already cut 400 jobs from its 6,000-plus team in Ireland earlier this year.
TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has described the loss of almost 900 Irish jobs at Accenture as “devastating” and said the Government would work with staff to help them find employment.
He said it was important for Accenture, which he characterised as a successful company generally doing quite well, to put in place a “decent redundancy package” for staff losing their jobs. However, he said there would still be more people working at Accenture than compared to five years ago. “And they would raise the possibility that there might have been in the normal course of events, because of a lot of movement in the management consultancy sector, if people were contemplating moving to other positions or they were contemplating leaving the company, that people who want to volunteer to leave should be first, rather than everybody in that particular section being forced out, even if there is movement within the overall group.
