This evening Dell has announced 450 job losses in Ireland.

About 2 months ago I was canvassing and a woman told us a rumor she heard, the rumor was that the Irish government knew about these job losses and allowed the banks to provide money to tide dell over until after the election. The job losses could then be announced following the election.
Could this be true or is it just a coincidence?
Im just saying exactly what the woman said so don't shoot the messenger.
I couldn't believe it when i saw the news tho.
