<p>A rally for European shares and the euro proved short-lived following fresh uncertainty over Ireland&#8217;s planned rescue package.</p>
<p>The FTSE 100 Index opened more than 30 points higher in the wake of news on Sunday that Ireland will accept an EU bailout, but stocks soon slipped &#8211; down 52 points at 5680.8 &#8211; as attention began to focus on details of the rescue.</p>
<p>There was a similar decline on the Cac 40 in France, as well as early session losses on Wall Street&#8217;s Dow Jones Industrial Average.</p>
<p>Worries over Ireland continued as few specific details of the bail out emerged and as the Irish government was thrown into disarray after the Greens &#8211; a junior partner in the ruling coalition &#8211; called for a general election.</p>
<p>There was also anxiety that the debt troubles would soon erupt in other embattled eurozone countries, such as Portugal and Spain.</p>
<p>The euro surrendered a positive start and slid back below the 1.37 barrier against the dollar while the single currency was also lower against the pound.</p>
<p>Blue-chip banks quickly lost early session gains as investors returned to concerns about their exposure to Ireland.</p>
<p>Part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland, which is seen as being the most vulnerable in terms of Irish lending through its Ulster Bank subsidiary, fell nearly 5%, down 1.9p to 39.8p.</p>
<p>The biggest FTSE 100 risers were TUI Travel up 7.2p at 208p, Compass ahead 10p at 539p, Kingfisher up 4.5p at 249.2p and Severn Trent ahead 20p at 1459p.</p>
<p>The biggest fallers were Royal Bank of Scotland down 1.9p at 39.8p, Lloyds Banking Group off 2.8p at 63.9p, Standard Life down 6.9p at 216p and Legal &#038; General off 2.75p at 94.8p.</p>
