Government applies for €20m fund for Dell workers

The Government has applied to the EU for €20m in funding to support the 1,900 Dell workers made redundant in Limerick.

Dell is transferring its operations from Raheen to Poland over the next number of months as production lines are brought to a halt in Limerick.

EU Employment Commissioner Vladimir Spidla confirmed the Government's application to the European Globalisation Fund following a series of meetings in Limerick.
