The Iseq index plunged 58.47 points yesterday, to close at 3,026.01, in line with European and world markets.

The possibility of Greece leaving the eurozone, an unprecedented move with unpredictable consequences for the rest of the region, continues to weigh on sentiment.

The European Central Bank late on Wednesday said it has stopped providing liquidity to some Greek banks as they have not been successfully recapitalised.
