Leo Varadkar: Public sector deal will help low-paid workers in particular

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar: “We want our nurses, our teachers, our gardaí, our doctors, our Defence Forces personnel and local authority workers to be paid better."

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has claimed the new pay agreement for 385,000 public sector workers will particularly benefit those in the low-paid ranks.

He was speaking in Galway after a deal between government officials and union leaders for the workers was reached.
