The INTO has voted to accept the Croke Park deal.
The union - which represents primary school teachers - voted to accept the controversial agreement by an almost two-to-one majority.
The INTO acceptance follows the rejection of the deal by the other two teachers unions - the ASTI and TUI - today.
The ASTI said unacceptable demands were being made of teachers, while the TUI said its members also had an issue with the demand for an extra hour to be added to the working day.
Deputy general secretary of the INTO Noel Ward said he believed the Croke Park agreement would now survive, but that we would all have to await the result overall, from all unions.
