Representatives from Fine Gael will travel to Brussels today for talks on the EU/IMF bailout deal.

Leader Enda Kenny and Finance spokesperson Michael Noonan will meet with the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso.

They want to try and renegotiate the terms of the bailout should they assume power after the General Election.

Mr Kenny said: “Fine Gael in government is committed to changing the policy measures contained in the EU/ECB/IMF funding programme and to negotiating with our European partners to reduce the penal interest rate that Ireland is being charged.

“We look forward to discussing these and other issues with President Barroso.”
