The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) application approved in support of redundant workers at the DELL computer manufacturing plant in Raheen, Co. Limerick also encompasses redundant workers at a number of ancillary enterprises. Only workers of those specific enterprises, and who meet all relevant EGF criteria, are eligible for EGF co-financed supports in the areas of training, upskilling, educational opportunities and enterprise supports.

The company with whom the person in question was employed is not one of the ancillary enterprises encompassed by the approved EGF application. As such no former employee of this company is eligible for EGF co-financed support. This position was communicated to the person in question by my Department last month.
