The agreement collapsed after a majority of 14 public sector unions refused the Croke Park deal, which involved longer working hours, pay cuts for higher paid employees and freezes on increments. The Government has announced it will seek further negotiations and renewed its commitment to find a deal. In the absence of the deal, the Government is expected to seek the wanted budget cuts through compulsory redundancies, which will certainly lead to nationwide protests. Public servants face pay cuts and a permanent freeze on increments if they fail to conclude a deal to reduce the public sector pay bill. They will also lose protection from outsourcing and compulsory redundancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0403\u002F379532-asti-exams\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0403\u002F379532-asti-exams\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0418\u002F382047-pseu-warns-over-industrial-action-if-pay-cuts\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0418\u002F382047-pseu-warns-over-industrial-action-if-pay-cuts\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0423\u002F385076-siptu-promissory-note\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0423\u002F385076-siptu-promissory-note\u002F\u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0427\u002F386928-croke-park\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2013\u002F0427\u002F386928-croke-park\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
