Dell confirms plans to shed 1,900 jobs in Limerick
Jan 8 2009
Dell will cut almost 2,000 jobs in Limerick in a cost-cutting measure.
The company plans to move all manufacturing from the Raheen facility to Poland over the next 12 months following a global review of its operations.
The measures at the 18-year-old Dell plant, which became a symbol of the Celtic Tiger boom years, dealt another blow to the economy with unemployment already at its highest level in more than a decade.
Dell employs about 4,300 people in Ireland. Around 1,900 people will lose their jobs as a result, while thousands more ancillary jobs could also be at risk in the mid-west region.
The lay-offs will begin in April and will be completed by January of next year.
