It's after yesterday's emergency summit meeting ended without a breakthrough.

Leaders of all 28 EU countries will meet on Sunday to discuss whatever proposals Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras brings to the table – while officials will work on 'detailed contingency plans' for Greece to leave the euro.

Meanwhile, Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs has drawn up contingency plans to help out holidaymakers who could face a cashflow crisis in Greece.

Officials are monitoring developments there and according to the Irish Independent, 'all options' will be considered if there are any developments that could affect citizens.

It's advising people making the trip not to rely on cash, although at this stage there's been no increase in requests for assistance from the Irish embassy in Athens.
