A DECISION about job losses at a Paddy Power betting shop in Letterkenny is yet to be made, according to the bookmaker.
Its parent company today (Tuesday) announced that some 1,400 roles in Ireland and the UK are to be cut.
But a spokesperson indicated to the Donegal News that they have not decided which bookies are to close.
Several workers are employed at the Paddy Power betting shop on Main Street in Letterkenny.
A spokesperson said: “The review process is still underway for shops.”
In the company’s announcement today, Paddy Power parent company Flutter Entertainment stated that it was “restructuring” in response to the increases in UK gaming taxes.
The spokesperson said: “It is expected to result in up to 1,400 redundancies.
“The decision will impact colleagues in a number of locations, including Leeds in the UK and Dublin in Ireland, as well as UK and Ireland staff.”
The job review at Paddy Power began in September.
100 SHOPS UNDER REVIEW
At the time, a spokesperson told the Donegal News: “Up to 100 shops are currently under review and being considered for closure between now and the end of the year.
“Approximately 400 roles could potentially be put at risk of redundancy.”
Paddy Power’s parent company Flutter Entertainment told the Donegal News that the chain has 196 betting shops in Ireland, with 935 employees.
It has a further seven shops in the North, with 35 employees.
Paddy Power has been an Irish success story since it was founded in 1988.
But the spokesperson said: “Flutter UK and Ireland can confirm that Paddy Power is undertaking a review of its retail estate across the UK and Ireland.”
