Workers and management at Lagan Brick in Cavan have accepted Labour Relations Commission proposals aimed at resolving the dispute over redundancies.
The company announced the Kingscourt plant's closure in mid-December.
Since then, 25 employees belonging to SIPTU have blockaded the plant in pursuit of redundancy payments.
Under Monday's LRC proposals, an independent assessor will be appointed to examine the company's books and assess the viability of continuing manufacturing at the facility.
The assessor will report back in two weeks.
In the meantime, workers will facilitate the release of up to 300,000 bricks for delivery to customers.
Lagan Brick said it expected the independent assessor's report would confirm the need for closure.
It noted that the company had already made financial information available to employee representatives some time ago.
Lagan Brick said it has agreed to this on the basis that employees stop blockading deliveries to customers.
It confirmed that the release of deliveries to customers would realise revenue that will contribute to funds for the payment of severance terms.
It said that would include "movement beyond the statutory entitlements" on the understanding that the blockades cease.
The LRC talks will reconvene on 30 January to consider the independent assessor's report.
However, the protest at the Kingscourt plant will continue until the dispute is settled.
SIPTU's John Regan said: "It is to be hoped that the process envisaged in these proposals will provide the necessary groundwork for a complete and just settlement to this dispute."
