EU Criticized For Letting Poland Pay Dell $54.5 Million Euros For Move-out.

IRISHTIMES/
Dell computer is moving production from Ireland to a new manufacturing plant in Poland, and the Polish government is giving 54.5 million euros in aid for the factory.
Irish officials are calling the EU's decision a “disgrace”, and would be greeted with outrage in Limerick and throughout Ireland.
“Earlier this year Dell announced that they were relocating the European centre of operations from Ireland to Poland with the loss of 1,900 jobs from their plant in Limerick...taking much-needed jobs from one of the most economically-deprived regions of one member state and allowing them to be relocated in an equally-deprived region of another member state simply defies logic.”
