Mirror Cuts Irish Edition Staff
Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror staff across Ireland are to be merged as a cut of around 10% of its workforce takes effect. The battle is on for the paper's daily and Sunday editions to reduce costs both in Ireland and in Great Britain.
Staff in Dublin and Belfast were told about the cuts yesterday as the newspaper's owners announced severe cuts at the newspaper's main operation in London.
Around 200 editorial jobs will be lost across the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People titles.
News and features departments are set to be merged as well as digital and print publishing teams.
In Ireland, the Sunday Mirror's Irish edition, which sells fewer than 40,000 copies, will now be run by the Editor of the daily newspaper, a publication that had an average circulation of 63,153 in the second half of last year.
The majority of this figure was north of border, however.
