More than 80 jobs at risk at Cork SuperValu and Centra owner Musgrave
Musgrave said it was engaging directly with its affected colleagues to assist them throughout the process.
The Cork-headquartered owner of Centra and SuperValu has announced job cuts affecting up to 82 roles across it finance and human resources operations.
Supermarket giant Musgrave said it was implementing the changes to support the demands of a "rapidly changing market."
"These changes will enhance our ability to innovate, operate efficiently, and continue investing in our brands, our customers, and the communities we serve across the Island of Ireland," Musgrave said.
"Regrettably, this means up to 82 roles across our Finance and HR functions in Dublin, Cork and Belfast are at risk of redundancy.
"We recognise how difficult this news is and want to be clear that it is in no way a reflection on the commitment or professionalism of the colleagues affected."
Musgrave said it was engaging directly with its affected colleagues to assist them throughout the process. It also said it will be working with Infosys, a global leader in digital services and consulting.
"A consultation process is now underway, and it would not be appropriate to comment further," Musgrave concluded.
Headquartered on Airport Road in Cork, Musgrave Group was established over 150 years ago and has grown significantly to now employ around 12,000 people across Ireland.
In its most recent financial statement filed to the Company Registration Office at the end of 2025, Musgrave said it paid out €22.5m in dividends to its shareholders in its last financial year.
During 2024, the company, which is largely owned by the extended Musgrave family, generated €5.2bn in turnover, up from €5bn in 2023.
Profit after tax for the financial year reached over €109m, an increase year-on-year from just under €104m. Across all of its operations, it generated €6.6bn in retail sales, more than half of which, €3.5bn, was generated by SuperValu, while €2.5bn was generated by Centra.
The company also operates 19 retail and wholesale brands in total, including Daybreak and Mace convenience stores, Frank and Honest, Donnybrook Fair and Spanish convenience store chain Dialprix, among others.
The Department of Enterprise has been contacted for comment.
