Description

Royal Bank of Scotland is to cut 171 computer support jobs at its Dublin IT division; although management said some staff would be offered jobs in the UK. The job losses are to take effect within nine months. IT staff are to be made redundant when the bank closes the division. RBS said it intended to keep the number of compulsory redundancies to a minimum, adding that some workers could be redeployed to the UK. However, there are no redeployment opportunities within Ireland.
