Taoiseach backs Honohan in debt negotiations

Taoiseach Enda Kenny said today that he has "every faith" in the Governor of the Central Bank, Patrick Honohan, in his efforts to broker a deal with the European Central Bank (ECB) regarding Ireland's debt.

Mr Honohan was expected to raise the possibility of a postponement on paying the debt, which is due at the end of this month, with the ECB yesterday.
