Default: Change to:


Both European Commission president José Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy have lent their support to a deal to reduce the €64 billion banking debt burden in Ireland. (Includes link to Van Rompuy's remarks following the meeting with Taoiseach Enda Kenny.)


Mr Barroso said he was supportive of Ireland finding a solution to the promisory notes issue.
