€23m fund available to assist Dell workers

A FUND of almost €23 million set up to assist former Dell workers and others who lost their jobs as a result of the closure of the computer giant’s Limerick plant will become available today after the workers’ programme was signed off by the EU Commission.

The EU is contributing €14.8m from its globalisation fund and the remaining €8m is being given by the government.

Two days of advice for workers who wish to access the fund takes place at the South Court Hotel today and tomorrow.
