In a letter to staff on Monday, Mr Niccol said that Starbucks would cut 1,100 jobs that were at present filled, as well as “several hundred” more open and unfilled positions.

Ireland Near Completion of AIB Share Sale, Targeting 100% Exit by Year's EndIreland is nearing the end of its divestment of shares in AIB, the country's largest bank. Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe announced the recent sale of a 5% stake, raising €652 million and reducing the state's ownership to 12.5%. This marks a significant step towards fully exiting AIB, a goal the government hopes to achieve by year's end if market conditions are favorable. The Irish state previously intervened heavily in the banking sector during the 2008 financial crisis, injecting €64 billion into banks to stave off collapse. Since then, it has been gradually selling off its stake in various banks, including Bank of Ireland, which returned to full private ownership in 2022. The total proceeds from the sale of AIB shares so far have reached approximately €17.9 billion, returning a substantial portion of the state's investment.
