Ireland's second biggest employer defects to Poland. Dell shed almost 2,000 jobs, contributes around 5% of Ireland's GNP and 4% of all expenditure in the economy. In addition to Dell's own jobs, thousands more are dependent on the company.

The company is relocating its manufacturing to Lodz in Poland largely due to lower labour costs, despite a visit to Texas by Irish government ministers who sought to change the mind of chief executive Michael Dell. Minister Willie O'Dea said yesterday: "He told us politely but bluntly that Dell's competitors in the PC industry had all out-sourced their manufacturing, and if Dell didn't do likewise then the company had no future."
