Dell starts staffing restructure with 250 job cuts in Ireland
Dell has confirmed that it will cut 250 jobs in Dublin and Limerick, as part of its plan to consolidate its 4,500 strong Irish workforce.
Positions affected will be in sales, finance and marketing, as well as some administration and technical support roles.
While the changes are being finalised, there will be more job losses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said Dell in a statement.
"While we are still confirming the detail of these changes in consultation with staff and their representatives, we anticipate making reductions in our staffing levels across EMEA over the year of between four and five per cent from a workforce of 17,500."
"These changes will vary by country and by department."
