Serious conundrum for those in power in Brussels, if they let the Greeks leave the euro they will make a serious dent in their single currency union ambitions, whereas if they re-negotiate the debt with the new Greek Government beyond this four month deal, political contagion as they call it will take hold and the centre right parties will be massacred by the left in Italy, Spain etc in the next elections:popcorn:
Tsipras seems to have totally capitulated to the EU demands in return for the 4 month extension. Some fairly wishy washy anti-austerity stuff to appease the greek people but you’d imagine they won’t be too happy with any of it.
[LIST]
[]Combat tax evasion
[]Tackle corruption
[]Commit not to roll back already introduced privatisations, but review privatisations not yet implemented
[]Introduce collective bargaining, stopping short of raising the minimum wage immediately
[]Tackle Greece’s “humanitarian crisis” with housing guarantees and free medical care for the uninsured unemployed, with no overall public spending increase
[]Reform public sector wages to avoid further wage cuts, without increasing overall wage bill
[]Achieve pensions savings by consolidating funds and eliminating incentives for early retirement - not cutting payments
[]Reduce the number of ministries from 16 to 10, cutting special advisers and fringe benefits for officials

Impressive leap 
Kev will be along shortly to tell us her leaping technique is all wrong and she’s certain to get long term injuries if she keeps leaping on desks.

Do we know if she’s a bit of a looker, lads? That’s like something that would happen in the Dail with the lax security. Pat Carey giving a speech about voting yes to gay marriage or something and some bogger cunt comes in and fires eggs and flour on him. You wouldn’t expect it in Europe.
Christ that David Hall of the Irish Mortgage Holders Association is a serious clown
Is that the gobshite that was on prime time there? I was only 20% following it. But you’re correct if its him you mean.
Correct. Absolutely ludicrous stuff out of him. Would love to see Vincent Browne have a go off him.

What did the fox say?
She wasnt half bad actually.
Conflicting reports on the Greek situation tonight.
They have apparently said they won’t be paying an installment due tomorrow but will be bundling all the payments for this month together and will pay them all on June 30th. Apparently this is acceptable under IMF rules, and indications earlier today were that an overall deal was close but the Guardian are leading with:
