Employment Commissioner visits Limerick

The EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities was visiting Limerick today for meetings with local community representatives involved in the Moyross Regeneration project and with workers made redundant from the Dell plant.

Speaking ahead of his visit, Vladimir Spidla said: "I am well aware how hard Limerick and its region has been hit by the economic crisis, in the same way many other areas across Europe from Latvia to Spain are also suffering."
