Public sector unions and employers have agreed proposals for a new two-year public service pay agreement to succeed the previous deal which had been due to expire at the end of December.

The proposals were outlined early this morning at a meeting of the ICTU public services committee after negotiations at the Workplace Relations Commission concluded in the early hours of the morning.
