Talks Set to Resume Over Improved 10.5% Public Sector Pay Offer
Published
Negotiations between the government and public sector unions are expected to continue after a revised pay offer was put forward. According to reports, the new proposal would give workers pay increases totalling 10.5%. The deal would run until the early months of 2029.
The offer is described as an improvement on the earlier proposal. Both sides are now due to discuss the new terms. Public sector pay affects a large number of workers across Ireland, including staff in health, education and the civil service, so any agreement could have a wide impact on households and public services.
It is not yet clear whether the revised offer will be accepted. Unions will need to consider the proposal before deciding on their next steps. Further details of the agreement are expected once the talks have taken place.
For now, workers and the public are waiting to see if the two sides can reach an agreement. Any final deal would need to be confirmed before pay increases could begin under the new arrangement.
