DEC Did indeed make systems in Ireland. There where two plants one in
Galway and something else at Clonmel
I went to Galway loads of times. It was a big FA&T operation assembling
11/34's, 11/70's etc. VAX I suppose later. I think Clonmel was a
software duplicating and packing operation for Europe. There was also a
plant at Ayr in Scotland.
The Scottish plant was called Silicon Glen and the Irish one Silicon
Bog.

Many an Apple was made in their factory in Cork.
