The first would be a 3% increase this year, retrospective to February.

Negotiations on public sector pay have concluded at the Workplace Relations Commission.

It is understood the proposals include a pay increase worth 6.5% over two years.

This is a 1.5% increase over the 5% offer made in June which was rejected by the unions at the time.

The proposals include three phases of pay increases.

The first would be a 3% increase this year, retrospective to February. The second would be a 2% increase from March 2023.

The third would be another 1.5% increase - or a minimum of €750 - from October next year.

This would come on top of a 2% increase already included in the existing public sector pay agreement, 'Building Momentum'.

It is understood the new pay proposal will also include additional increases for lower paid public sector workers.

The Workplace Relations Commission is to issue a proposal document to all sides this morning with unions saying they will take the offer to their members before discussing any details of the agreement.

People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy thinks it's a 'poor deal':
