The Irish government should look to its
Greek counterpart for some lessons in hard negotiation skills. That’s the
recommendation of the Independent MEP Luke Ming Flanagan who was speaking ahead
of today’s meeting of Eurozone finance ministers in Brussels. Mr Flanagan said
that Greece’s new governing party – Syriza is trying hard to secure more debt
leniency for the Greeks. And, he says, the Irish government should have taken a
similar stance and fought much harder for a better deal on its bank debts.
