Uncertainty over €14m package for Dell workers

FORMER workers at the Dell plant in Limerick may have to wait until Christmas for the €14.8 million stimulus package from the European Union.

MEPs in the European Parliament have questioned the package and claimed they should have been consulted before the aid package was announced in Limerick in the run-up to the Lisbon Referendum.

All spending has to be approved by both the parliament and the council representing the member states.
