A US medical firm has announced plans to lay off 30 workers at its plant in Galway.
Medtronic says the jobs are being shed as part of a realignment of its global workforce.
The company, which employs more than 2,000 people at its facility in Galway's Parkmore Industrial Estate, plans to let go 1,100 workers around the world, most of them in the US.
It is seeking to reduce the Galway workforce through voluntary redundancies.
