Talks concluded at the WRC early this morning
Thursday's strike action by public sector workers has been called off.
In the early hours of this morning, a deal was finally reached on a new pay deal.
At around 3:30am in the morning, talks at the Workplace Relations Commission concluded with a pay agreement reached.
Over 400 thousand public servants will benefit from pay increases of 10.75% over two years and nine months if they back the new proposal.
The ICTU is now recommending unions suspend Thursday's strike action and other industrial action, including ongoing work-to-rules, to allow unions to consider the document and arrange ballots.
Also as part of the agreement, the threshold at which the lower-pay provisions apply will increase from 50 thousand euro to 60 thousand.
Public Expenditure Minister, Jack Chambers has welcomed the proposed agreement.
He says it underlines the value of collective bargaining and constructive engagement in resolving complex issues and delivering balanced outcomes for public servants, public services and taxpayers.
Unions will ballot their members on the proposals with the votes to conclude early in December.
