Ex-IMF deputy director: No way IMF would fund Ireland separately

The former deputy director of the International Monetary Fund has said there is a more-than 50% chance that Ireland will need more financial aid from Europe in the coming years.

Donal Donovan's comments come as campaigners for the no vote in the forthcoming EU Fiscal Treaty referendum said the Government was "scare-mongering" people into voting yes by suggesting we would no longer receive bailout funds from the EU and the IMF if we reject the Treaty.
