The Network Operators reached agreement with the unions on a new collective labour agreement at the end of 2018. The new collective labour agreement includes changes to the long-service benefits scheme: the existing long-service benefits payable at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 years of service are being discontinued. The revised long-service benefits scheme covers long-service benefits payable on attaining 25 and 40 years of service. The change resulted in the release of €11 million from the provision in 2018.
