The agreement on the new public sector pay deal has been welcomed by a number of politicians.

Over 300,000 public sector workers would receive pay rises of 10.75% over the lifetime of the draft deal, which will run for two years and nine months.

Talks at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) concluded in the early hours of the morning, with the Public Services Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions formally recommending that nationwide strike action on Thursday be suspended.

Junior Minister and Sligo-Leitrim TD Frank Feighan has described the offer as fair and expressed the hope that public sector workers will vote in favour of it when unions present it for ratification in the coming weeks.
