When I worked for BT we had to call the Dell support desk (constantly; feckin' Latitude laptops and Precision 410 workstations were always breaking). They were in Ireland.
I also recall that Intel had a microprocessor fabrication plant in Ireland also.
Not sure if either are still there or not.

Dell had a big plant in Limerick in the Republic.
A lot of big US firms moved to the Republic during the "celtic tiger" boom years of the late 90s -> 2009. Low corporation tax was the biggest draw.
They've pegged it back now, moved the production to Eastern Europe.
In the North we made DeLoreans for a few months. I saw a TV programme the other day, a whole transporter full of them heading up the Lisburn Road. Would've been a strange sight!
We also made the titanic, just a mile down the road from where my office is in the Titanic Quarter. There are tour buses up and down the Queens Road despite the fact the Titanic slipway was concreted over in the 60s to make a car park.
