    I read this morning that Medtronic are hoping to cut between 1500-2000 jobs worldwide. Any word will Galway be included in the cut or is this old news?

    I would not like any of our Big Medical Device Firms downsizing as they have done well to survive the in Galway so far.

    As far as I know Medtronic let go some contract staff recently. I don't know if they would be included in the figures above or whether those were the only cuts for Galway.

    Hopefully they are over for investment. I know people working in the US or the Galway Plant doing a Product Transfer. I presumed it was a transfer of a poduct TO Galway. These companies are a huge importance to our City & County.
