Fears are today being raised for 200 jobs at Hewlett Packard.

The workers, who provide IT services to Bank of Ireland, were transferred to HP from their previous employment in the bank itself.

Now the contract for the Bank of Ireland work has been put out to tender, and the Irish Bank Officials Association (IBOA) claims that tenders from two other interested parties involve exporting the work overseas where staff would be paid considerably less than their Irish counterparts.
