It has been confirmed that both the Tánaiste and the Minister for Defence met senior Dell executives at the computer giant's headquarters in Texas last Monday in a bid to save 2,000 jobs at the company's Limerick factory, according to RTE News today. The jobs are under threat by a multi-billion dollar review of Dell's worldwide operations.
The company told Tánaiste Mary Coughlan and Defence Minister Willie O'Dea that with falling demand, cost cuts would be going ahead.
