"Mr President, it is with extreme urgency that I call on Parliament to see that the EURÂ 14.8 million promised to the workers in the mid-west of Ireland in areas like Limerick, Kerry and Tipperary who worked for Dell Computers and its suppliers is allocated as soon as possible. This money was promised by the Commission President under the Globalisation Adjustment Fund in a recent visit to Limerick. There is no going back on it and, whatever the issues relating to protocol and how this Fund is administered may be, these need to be overcome immediately. Parliament should not delay this money, which would give the region a much-needed economic stimulus. It was estimated at one stage that Dell and its suppliers employed one in every five people throughout the mid-west of Ireland, so this area has been hard hit.
That is why I urge the Commission to review the rules on State aid support. These were drawn up in 2006 before the massive shock that the loss of Dell and the other industries created. I urge the Commission to include the mid-west of Ireland as an area of serious unemployment in the review of State aid rules next year, so that it can qualify for the now much-needed EU funding."@en1
