Enterprise minister says talks with EU and IMF like a poker game


Speaking at the Silicon Valley Comes to Ireland event in Dromoland Castle last night, Minister for Enterprise Batt O'Keeffe described the situation as being akin to a poker game.

"We've got to play poker over the next couple of days to see what cards these people have to play, what exactly they have in mind. We would like to see the colour of their money," Mr O'Keeffe said referring to any offers of financial assistance from the ECB or IMF.

He also said the Government "almost had" European Commission approval for the outline of its four-year plan which would be finalised in the coming days.
