In 1993, the Labour Court recommended revised rates and terms for the National Union of Journalists’ freelance agreement with the Provincial Newspapers Association of Ireland. The recommendation was signed on 14 December 1993. The Court recommended keeping linage measurement, raising the rate for 25 lines to £4.75 and setting the rate for each additional line at 10.5p. It also recommended £8.25 for ordered stories, £9 for basic photography, £2.10 for repeat photographs and £25.25 for features. Fixed retainers were to rise by 2.7%. The revised rates were to apply from 1 September 1993 for 15 months, ending on 30 November 1994.
