A number of executive committees of the country's unions will meet this afternoon to discuss proposals on the new Croke Park deal.

The Executive Committee of the Civil Public and Services Union spent all day yesterday going through the provisional agreement and will decide today if they'll put it to their members for a ballot.

IMPACT's Central Executive meets today, to discuss the revised Croke Park Agreement. The leadership is known to support the deal, having been central to the talks.

IMPACT officials admit the proposal will result in loss of earnings for some - but say they successfully reduced the severity of some measures.

The meeting comes as opposition to the deal intensifies. The 24/7 Alliance will also meet later. They're hoping to reach out to other affected unions, with the aim of mounting the "strongest campaign possible".

And the country's largest civil service union will decide whether to ballot its members on the proposals.

Eoin Ronayne, General Secretary of the CPSU, says the government's redeployment proposals in particular aren't fair, amounting to constructive redundancy:
