The dispute centred on claims salaries had not been updated to reflect changes in responsibilities.

A long running dispute at the National Ambulance Service has been resolved.

Members of SIPTU and Unite trade unions have voted overwhelmingly to accept Labour Court proposals.

98% of members voted in favour of the Labour Court recommendation.

It will see what the unions claim are significant pay rises for ambulance personnel working as Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics, Advanced Paramedics and Paramedic Supervisors.

The dispute originally centred on claims salaries had not been updated to reflect changes in responsibilities.

Workers engaged in a 24 hour strike in May, but stood down further action to allow for talks in the Labour Court.
