One of the country's main teachers unions are meeting in Dublin today to consider new government proposals aimed at addressing the dispute over two-tier salaries in the public service.

The central executive council of the secondary schools union, the ASTI, will debate whether to ballot members on the Public Service Stability Agreement - recommending to either accept or reject. 

It can also choose not to make any recommendation.

The proposal, due to come in in March, would see newer-entrants into the public service jumping two points on the salary scale.
