Markets affected by Greece fallout

THE Irish market fell back yesterday as bourses across the eurozone continued to be jittery over Greek debt.

An EU rescue plan has been seen in some quarters as being lacking in detail and this saw share prices lower as well as a continued weakness in the Euro against the dollar. The ISEQ index slipped 4.14 points to 2,891.99.

Bank stocks fell as investors continued to assimilate concerns over the EU rescue plan for Greece. The state’s largest bank AIB, gave up 2.6c to €1.11. Bank of Ireland and Irish Life and Permanent followed suit, losing 1.7c and 20c to €1.27 and €2.74.
