The British multinational is understood to be inviting bids for BT Ireland as part of a wider exit from its Global Services international arm. The mooted sale was reported in the 'Daily Telegraph' in London. However, BT Ireland managing director Shay Walsh cast doubt on the story yesterday via social media. A spokeswoman for BT Ireland said it would not comment "on rumour or speculation". BT Ireland employed 608 people here according to its most recently filed accounts for the 12 months to the end of March 2018.
