France says plan to tweak Greek aid plan Irish-style

France's economy minister said on Tuesday that Greece's financial aid package could be tweaked to similar timing terms as those accorded in the case of Ireland. "What we are envisaging is an extension of the maturity of the Greek package just to be on the same schedule as the Irish package -- so we are in a way amending the terms," Christine Lagarde said, referring to
two countries being rescued by the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
