Ex-Dell workers’ anger at delay in using EU funds
Dell Redundant Workers Association (DRWA) said they face losing part of the €22.8 million provided by the EU Globalisation Fund (EGF) and Government to retrain workers if it is not spent prior to a September 2011 deadline.
DRWA spokesman Tony O’Shea said progress on distributing the monies to pay for training courses for more than 2,000 people made unemployed by the Dell closure was “going from slow to slower”.
