€23m retraining fund ‘not Lotto win for ex-Dell staff’

FORMER Dell workers were warned that the millions of euro allocated to help them return to work should not be regarded as winning the Lottery.

The special fund for people who lost their jobs after the US computer giant pulled out of Limerick last year is to top €23 million.

Junior Minister Dara Calleary said the EU is contributing €14.8m, with the remainder provided by the Government.
