Dell to reveal plans for operation this week

AN announcement by Dell concerning the future of its Limerick operation is expected on Thursday.

Senior management at the American multinational’s Irish arm have already been briefed in preparation for the announcement which will end weeks of speculation about the computer manufacturer’s plans.

The announcement is expected to outline the removal of the company’s computer manufacturing facility from Limerick to a plant in Lodz, Poland, resulting in 2,000 lay-offs over the next 12 months.
