EMC moves to allay fears of pullout from Cork

EMC, one of the country’s biggest employers, insists it is not planning a Dell-style pullout from Ireland.

The company, which employs around 1,600 people in Cork, said it is fully committed to Ireland and will not be cutting staff numbers on a large scale.

President and managing director of EMC Ireland Bob Savage said he’s “pretty sure” that those working at corporate level within the company are not thinking about any pullout from Cork right now.
