Retained firefighters have voted to accept proposals from the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) aimed at resolving a dispute over pay and conditions.
In a ballot of SIPTU members, 63% voted in favour of the deal.
Since June, around 2,000 retained firefighters had been engaged in a rolling campaign of industrial action, with pickets placed across 200 retained fire stations.
Last month, they suspended their industrial action after agreement was reached at the WRC.
Members of the retained service are part-time firefighters who receive an annual retainer for being on-call.
Under the WRC agreement, new recruits will enter the service with guaranteed minimum earnings of just over €18,000.
Guaranteed earnings for firefighters with more than eight years of service will be over €21,000.
Station officers will have secure minimum earnings of between €27,256 and €31,511.
As part of the deal, there will also be a reduction in the requirement for members of the part-time service to be available from 48 weeks to 24 weeks, with an option to be available more frequently on a voluntary basis.
"While today's vote ends the current strike, it does not end that battle," said SIPTU Divisional Organiser Karan O Loughlin.
"This has been a protracted battle to bring the poor terms and conditions for retained fire fighters into the public domain and to begin the process of rebuilding the Retained Fire Service," she said.
"The WRC document is the beginning of the next stage for the retained firefighters.
"SIPTU representatives will be writing immediately to the employers and to the minister. We will advise of the acceptance of the document and seek to engage in discussions in respect of the retainer and the rollout of the WRC terms, especially those clauses that relate to recruitment, pay and time off."
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage Darragh O'Brien has welcomed the decision by retained firefighters to accept the WRC proposals.
Mr O’Brien said: "I welcome the decision of the retained firefighters to accept the recommendations of the Workplace Relations Commission".
"I want to thank them and their representatives for their constructive engagement with the Local Government Management Agency," he said.
"I also want to thank the WRC for their efforts in bringing about a resolution to this dispute," he added.
The minister also said he acknowledged the challenges associated with recruitment and retention within the sector.
He said that he has "consistently advocated for a better approach" and that this is something he will continue to do.
"Our firefighters are an invaluable frontline service staffed by very dedicated and selfless people, serving their communities around the clock," Mr O’Brien said.
"I will continue to support them in the work which they do," he said.
