Dell jobs cuts ‘could have been worse’ for Limerick

THE president of Limerick Chamber of Commerce said that workers who take up a voluntary redundancy package at Dell will have little difficulty getting other work in Limerick.

Reg Freake said that while the decision by Dell to seek up to 100 voluntary redundancies was disappointing, it was not surprising. A total of 10% of the Dell workforce is to be cut globally.

Mr Freake said: “Realistically the situation could have been a lot worse.”
