Elevance Health, the parent company of Carelon Global Solutions, which reportedly employs more than 300 people in the city, confirmed its closure in a statement to Limerick Live.

Staff were told of the bad news at a briefing this Wednesday.
"We greatly appreciate the work and dedication from associates in Ireland over the past few years and are committed to supporting them during this time," the company statement added.
