270 jobs are to be lost at Liberty Insurance.

250 redundancies will come from Cavan and Blanchardstown with a further 20 lost at the company’s call centre in Fermanagh.

In a statement, Liberty Insurance says workers in Cavan and Dublin were told about the job losses at meetings this morning.

The firm is seeking a total 270 voluntary-led redundancies over the next 18 months.

It says that final numbers are uncertain – but it expects 135 redundancies in Blanchardstown; 115 in Cavan and 20 from its call centre in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.

It will engage with workers during a consultation period over the next 30 days.

President Luis Bonnell says the company is committed to building a successful business in Ireland and will continue to create jobs.
