Following extensive engagement, a pay deal has been negotiated for workers in Premier Lotteries Ireland.  

A ballot of members will now take place. An online ballot opened on Wednesday 7th May and will close on Thursday 22nd May. Eligible members should have received their unique voting code (UVC) by now.  

The proposed pay deal will run for two years, from April 2025 to March 2027. The agreement proposes an average of 7% pay increases over the two-year period. 

Branch chair Ronan Cooney said: “The negotiation went well, and after a lot of back and forth we managed to agree a two year deal which the branch are happy to recommend to you, the members, to vote on. We, as a branch, are endorsing what has been agreed with the company and recommending acceptance of this deal. The deal will be backdated to commence on 1st April as the previous deal expired on 31st March 2025.” 

Fórsa official Deirdre O’Connell said: “This deal has been negotiated on your behalf by your branch reps, now it’s over to you to have your say on the terms of the proposed agreement. If you have any questions you should contact your branch.”
