Limerick is critical for Dell, says manager

Technology titan Dell considers Limerick critical to its success, despite cutting almost 2,000 jobs there six years ago, according to the head of its Irish operations.

Dell Ireland general manager Liam Halpin said his company was fully committed to Ireland, and Limerick in particular, as a place to do business and cited recent investment in the country as evidence of that commitment.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner at the Web Summit in Dublin, Mr Halpin said outside of the US, the firm had its greatest concentration of multi-functional roles in Ireland.
