Trade unions have formally ratified acceptance of a new collective agreement that will see public sector workers receive a 6.5% pay increase over two years. Almost 400,000 public sector workers will receive a 3% pay rise backdated to the start of February after the ICTU Public Service Committee (PSC) formally ratified the pay deal agreed between Government and union representatives. Under the terms of the agreement, public-sector workers — including civil servants, teachers and nurses — will receive a further increase of 2% at the start of March 2023 and a 1.5% or €750 rise, whichever is larger, at the start of October 2023.
