Unions agreed to suspend the October 21st stoppage after the Government appointed an independent group to help establish a framework for formal pay negotiations.
Public sector unions have called off next Wednesday's planned strike following fresh discussions with the Government over a new pay agreement.
The decision comes after more than 300,000 public sector workers took part in the nationwide industrial action earlier this week, disrupting schools, hospitals, and other public services.
Unions agreed to suspend the October 21st stoppage after the Government appointed an independent group to help establish a framework for formal pay negotiations.
The process will be led by Workplace Relations Commission Chair Kevin Foley, alongside representatives from the Government and trade unions.
Meetings are expected to begin today, Saturday, with both sides hoping to make progress towards a new agreement.
Work-to-rule industrial action will continue, meaning the wider dispute remains unresolved.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin welcomed the development, while union representative Kevin Callinan said the Government's willingness to address workers' cost-of-living concerns would now be tested through negotiations.
