According to the Tribune Dell are to announce their pullout in January with all operations going to Poland as Limerick closes down over the year. The Tribune quotes government sources as being braced for the coming announcement. It will lead to the loss of some 16000 jobs between Dell and its sub-suppliers, mainly in the Mid-West region.

Holy f**k - more good news for Limerick then.Originally Posted by kerrynorth
Well, at least that may do for the career of Mustache O'Dea.... Silver lining folks...
It seems Limerick is no longer considered to be "at the heart of Europe"! Will Limerick remember the lies of Nice come next October?
Wow. This was one of the things everybody was hoping wouldn't happen.
A poster of some consequence...
It's a very small silver lining compared to the size of the cloud. 16,000 jobs...we may finally see an Irish equivalent of the Jarrow March.
Never let the best be the enemy of the good.
I would have thought that story would be front page in the Tribune...and not consigned to the Business section alone...
And surely there are less painful ways of getting rid of Willie?
That bugged me as well. If this story is not front page material I do not know what is. I suppose its the Tribs priorities all over, 16000 jobs to go is nothing as newsworthy as some asylum scammer complaining about the food in a Galway hotel which they ran with a couple of years ago when the claims made turned out subsequently to be completely bogus.
Fixed that for ya Cookie.
Je suis un loo-lah
But, remember, Lenihan admitted today that "he didnt notice (from his airconditioned merc) the downturn" and "he is not an economist". He gets 250k to fake it tho....wánker
