Kenny: Spain did not get better deal

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has hit out at opposition claims that Spain’s bank bailout is far more generous than the one Ireland is saddled with.

Mr Kenny insisted the €100m recapitalisation of Spanish banks was “slightly different” to the Irish situation.

The Taoiseach said the Spanish deal just dealt with the banking sector, whereas Ireland’s bailout was part of a wider economic package.
