Aer Lingus cabin crew have suspended their industrial action after talks with the company.
Crews, who are members of the IMPACT trade union, have been engaged in a work-to-rule and staged two one-day strikes last month.
The dispute centres on the introduction of new working practices including a requirement that staff rosters accommodate new, 25-minute aircraft "turnaround times".
The Labour Court recommended that fixed turnaround times be implemented, but that a monitoring exercise should be put in place to review the impact of the move after three months.
Issues such as how the monitoring exercise would work, who would carry it out and to whom they would report were among matters the union sough clarification on.
The union said in a statement today that in several hours of talks with Aer Lingus yesterday, enough progress was made to allow "a suspension of all current industrial action so that members can ballot on a proposed agreement.
"The negotiating team believes that, between the recent Labour Court recommendation and subsequent negotiations with Aer Lingus management, it has secured firm guarantees on cabin crews' main concerns relating to the proposed quicker turnaround," the statement added.
The union said Aer Lingus management had agreed that an agreed independent person will be appointed to chair the three-month monitoring exercise on quicker turnarounds.
