Tánaiste Mary Coughlan and Minister for Defence Willie O’Dea last week met Dell Computer founder and chief executive Michael Dell in Round Rock Texas, to try and save the Limerick plant that for almost two decades, was the PC giant's sole manufacturing plant in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region. Dell told the ministers that a $3 billion cost-cutting plan is going ahead, leaving 2,000 jobs at risk in Limerick.
