IMO to discuss new public sector pay deal

The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) will meet today to consider the new public sector pay deal.

The doctors' union is expected to make a recommendation to its members to accept or reject the deal.

The IMO walked out of the original Croke Park II talks, but says the proposals contained in the revised deal - known as the Haddington Road Agreement - represent progress.

However, the union is concerned by a proposal to cut the salaries of consultants earning over €100,000 a year.
