A strike by health and social care workers in the community and voluntary sector, which was due to begin today, has been called off.
Talks between unions and Government representatives at the Workplace Relations Commission ended shortly after 3am with an agreement on pay.
As part of the agreement, there will also be a method established to deal with the question of restoring the link between workers in the community and voluntary sector with equivalent pay grades in the Health Service Executive. "After a long number of hours and intensive negotiations we have a set of proposals from the WRC that we will now be consulting members on over the next couple of weeks," Mr Berney said.
