Public service union to meet today

The Executive of the IMAPCT union meets later to discuss the deal on pay and reform in the public service.

A decision will be taken at today's meeting on whether or not to recommend the proposals in a ballot to union members.

The union's general secretary Peter McLoone says the Croke Park agreement gives public servants some certainty about their pay, their jobs and their pensions.

He also believes the deal will mean that public services are better managed and delivered.
