Greece ‘will struggle’ to meet targets

GREECE will struggle to meet austerity targets in the autumn, Finance Minister Michael Noonan has predicted.

Mr Noonan expects the Greek parliament to pass the latest austerity package this week which will see the EU and IMF release the latest tranche of bailout funds and prevent the country from going bankrupt.

But he cast doubt on whether Greece would ultimately fulfil all the commitments contained in the package.
