Last month rank and file gardaí who are members of the Garda Representative Association also voted to back the accord.
The deal has been ratified by the public services committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions based on the aggregate vote of its affiliated unions.
However the three main teaching unions have voted to reject the deal.
