Media reports have today indicted that management at the HP Inc plant in Co Kildare are to address the 500 staff there in relation to the future of the operation.
This comes after HP Inc announced there were set to cut up to 4,000 jobs globally in October of last year.
US based Hewlett-Packard first opened a site in Ireland in 1995 and quickly grew to employ thousands of staff.
In 2015, the company globally split into two independent separate businesses, HP Inc and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, so that both could compete more effectively in the changing technology market.
HP Inc continued with the traditional PC and printing business, while Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has focused on cloud computing hardware, software and services.
However, the printing business of HP Inc has come under growing pressure from competitors and a changing market.
It is understood from press reports that today's meeting will take place at 10am.
