23/03/2010 (Agence Europe) - On a visit to Ireland on Monday 22 March, European Investment Bank (EIB) Vice-President responsible for Ireland, Plutarchos Sakellaris, reiterated the Bank's commitment and enhanced support for Ireland during the economic crisis. The EIB will continue, he said, to focus on projects in the transport, energy and education sectors, alongside reinforced support for Irish SMEs in close cooperation with local banks. In 2009, the EIB lent €1.02 billion for projects in Ireland, over double the amount lent in 2008 (€450 million). In a press release, the EIB notes, too, that in 2009 a total of €500 million was lent for energy projects in Ireland. (O.L./transl.rt)
