Several trade unions were consulting their members over the latest pay offer from the government which would provide for a series of pay increases over a 30-month period from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2026. The unions have until 25 March to complete the ballots. If an aggregate of the members of all the unions vote in favour then the agreement would provide the following pay increases: in 2024: 2.25% or € 1,125, whichever is greater, from 1 January; 1% on 1 June; 1% or € 500, whichever is greater, on 1 October; in 2025: 2% or € 1,000, whichever is greater, on 1 March; 1% on 1 August and the first phase of local bargaining of 1% on 1 September; in 2026: 1% or € 500, whichever is greater, on 1 February and 1% on 1 June.
