New Study Warns That More Than Two Of Every Five Irish Jobs Are At "High Risk" Of Automation

A new study's warning more than two out of every five Irish jobs are at a "high risk" of automation.

The University College Cork report says office, secretarial and administrative workers are among those most vulnerable.

The report's authors say the danger is highest in rural areas, and are calling for "localised, bottom-up" policy intervention.

Ten towns - including Edgeworthstown, Co. Longford and Fethard and Cahir in Co. Tipperary - are identified as being at risk of job losses because of automation.
