13-01-2009
As BBC News reports:
"Computer giant Dell is to cut 1,900 of the 3,000 jobs at its manufacturing site in Limerick in the Irish Republic.
Dell said the move - which will see production moved to a new factory in Poland - was part of a $3bn global cost-cutting effort.
The firm has seen global profits slip because consumers are buying fewer computers as they rein in spending.
Local business leaders predicted the decision would put a further 6,000 jobs in related industries at risk."
