In January 2009, Dell announced an imminent 1,900 redundancies at its Raheen plant from April 2009. Known redundancies at Dell's downstream producers and suppliers directly related to the Dell redundancies were included in the EGF application submitted in June 2009. The company in question was not linked to the Dell redundancies at that time and no representations on behalf of workers there were received in the interim. I have asked FÁS to review this situation in the light of new information to hand.
