It seems Irish eyes are not smiling, after Dell announced it is cutting 250 jobs from its Irish operation. It’s understood that 180 to 200 of these jobs will be from the plant in Dublin and the remainder from Limerick.

Dell said the jobs will be cut from finance, IT, marketing and support roles. It is part of a move by the PC giant to cut back its 4,500-strong Irish work force and part of Dell’s continuing operations to cut back its 17,000-strong European work force by around 4 to 5 percent. The PC giant also intends to cut 40 staff members from its call center in Glasgow, Scotland.

Dell is one of the largest employers in Ireland, and the move is sure to make the work force in the country unsteady. The CEO of the Chamber of Commerce in Limerick is now calling for tighter controls on salaries in the region, after fears that workers are pricing themselves out of the market and putting off other tech multinationals from setting up businesses in the country.
