Taoiseach concerned about key Greek vote

TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has warned that a vote against fresh austerity measures in the Greek parliament next week could trigger all kinds of consequences for the EU and for Ireland.

EU leaders agreed to give Greece a second multi-billion euro bailout from the EU and the IMF — provided the government can muster sufficient votes to pass another austerity programme next week.

Mr Kenny echoed the views of the other leaders when he said: “It is imperative that this should go through.”
