Finalised Croke Park agreement drawn up; compulsory redundancies 'not part of final deal'

Trade unions and the Government will today begin considering the new Croke Park agreement, when they receive the finalised copy of the draft deal from the LRC.

The controversial agreement which will be discussed at Cabinet this morning will see pay cuts of 10% for those earning more than €185,000 and 5.5% for those earning more than €65,000 a year, as well as longer working hours and lower overtime payments.
