Varadkar criticised for IBM remarks

TECHNOLOGY giant IBM has attacked a senior opposition politician in a row over the loss of up to 190 jobs at one of its Dublin plants.

The multinational confirmed workers at Mulhuddart were in redundancy consultations as a result of its shifting server manufacturing to China.

But a spokesman accused Fine Gael energy spokesman Leo Varadkar of political posturing over the lay-offs after he said it would devastate his Dublin West constituency.
