Retained firefighters have suspended strike action after overnight talks at the WRC.
Members will now consider and vote on proposals put forward at the Workplace Relations Commission
Talks aimed at resolving the dispute involving the country's retained firefighters ended in the early hours of the morning at the WRC.
A revised pay offer and measures to improve the recruitment and retention of staff resulted in SIPTU agreeing to suspend industrial and strike action.
The proposals will now be considered by members and voted on.
In a statement, SIPTU's Karan O' Loughlin said as well as dealing with core pay, the overall proposals provided more value for firefighters and made adjustments for new recruits.
She described the move as a good first step in their campaign to rebuild the Retained Fire Service.
The proposals have a built-in review every six months,
