Taoiseach urges a return to talks over Greece
Enda Kenny has criticised Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
The Taoiseach has urged his Greek counterpart to return to talks - with just hours to go until the country defaults on a 1-point-5 billion euro debt.
Enda Kenny says all disputes are solved around the negotiating table but criticised Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for pulling out of an emergency meeting on Saturday and for making a 'last minute' request for a bailout extension.
Thousands of Greeks have taken to the streets to protest - ahead of next weekend’s referendum on new bailout terms and austerity conditions.
However, people on the island of Corfu like car hire agent Valandis Kandaris, are keen to distance themselves from the problems faced on the mainland.
