Kenny: State bank guarantee to end in March

Banks are expected to sign up to a new agreement with the Government early next year which will include more commitment from lenders on helping homeowners in mortgage arrears.

Enda Kenny has revealed that the state guarantee on deposits in banks will be gone by March but that a new deal will be done with lenders.

He also revealed that an expected Cabinet reshuffle will not take place until at least the second half of next year, after Ireland’s presidency of the EU.
