28 November 2010,

BRUSSELS — EU governments on Sunday approved an ¤85 billion ($113 billion) bailout deal for Ireland to help the debt-struck nation withstand the weight of its banking crisis.

According to a statement released by the Irish government, the country will take ¤10 billion immediately to boost the capital reserves of its banks. Another ¤25 billion earmarked for the banks will remain in reserve.

The Irish government’s public finances will receive ¤50 billion, to be drawn upon as necessary.
