The Taoiseach has called for "common sense to prevail" over the Greek crisis.

Enda Kenny's called on all sides to return to talks in Brussels and come up with a proposition for an agenda of growth in Greece.

Speaking in Co. Offaly, Enda Kenny says Europe's leaders want Greece in the Euro:

Earlier, Germany's chancellor has played down prospects of a breakthrough with Greece in the coming days - saying she'd be ready to restart talks after a planned referendum on Sunday.

Angela Merkel has also criticised the Greek government for not accepting what she's called a "generous" offer to help it through its financial crisis.

German ministers say if the Greek people decide NOT to accept the bailout offer, it would be a clear vote against staying in the euro.

Meanwhile, banks are still closed and will remain so for the rest of the week.

A 60 euro limit has been applied on ATM withdrawals leading to long queues.

Some Irish tourists say they are experiencing difficulty using credit and debit cards in holiday resorts and shop owners will only take cash in small denominations.
