Dell to let 250 staff go in Ireland – Cherrywood hardest hit.
It looks like I spoke too soon yesterday with my previous post. I guess I tempted fate.
Dell Ireland announced that it will be cutting 250 jobs for its 4500 workforce in Ireland. Operations in Cherrywood in Dublin will be hardest hit as most jobs to go are in support functions – Marketing, IT and Administration. Dell insists that no Manufacturing jobs will be lost but there are expected to be some job losses in Limerick Operations.
Dell has been established in Ireland for a good few years and is deemed a high profile employer in Ireland which magnifies this news. The company cited slow computer sales as the driver for global cost cutting when it announced the bad news to staff on Tuesday.
I find it interesting that manufacturing has not been affected as most job loss in Ireland seems to be manufacturing. I remember a number of years back there were strong rumours of Dell relocating operations to Mexico (I think!!)
It was the 1st of April when Dell was featured last in the Jobs News Blog. Then they announced the 10% of staff cuts worldwide. And only 4 weeks later – the Irish subsidiary is announcing 250 redundancies in Cherrywood (Dublin South).
