Govt informed of potential job cuts at Boston Scientific

Medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific has notified the Irish government of potential job cuts at its Irish operations, which employ over 7,000 people across Galway, Cork, and Clonmel. The company’s board recently approved a global restructuring plan aimed at reducing costs, though specific numbers of affected roles in Ireland remain unclear. Boston Scientific stated that the restructuring includes optimizing operational capabilities and the global supply chain, but it does not disclose details by region or function. The Department of Enterprise confirmed receiving a redundancy notice on 22 July, which is required when 30 or more jobs are at risk. The Labour Party’s employment spokesperson expressed concern over the impact on highly skilled workers and called for government action to protect jobs amid international economic uncertainties linked to U.S. trade policies.
