The Taoiseach has said that he hopes the Government will publish later this week the two reports presented to it in October by Judge Peter Cory.
The reports were on IRA attacks in south Armagh, in which four people died, and where it was alleged there may have been collusion between the IRA and some garda members.
These were the deaths of Lord Justice Maurice Gibson and his wife Cecily in an IRA bomb at the border in 1987, and the gun atack also near the border in 1989 in which two senior RUC officers were shot dead by the IRA as they returned from visiting Dundalk Garda station.
It is thought the Cabinet will discuss the matter at its meeting on Tuesday.
According to some reports, Judge Cory has recommended a further inquiry into the the killings of Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan.
Following the Weston Park talks in 2001 at which the decision was taken to set up an investigation, the two governments agreed that they would implement the recommendations.
When Judge Cory handed over his reports at the start of October, the Northern Secretary, Paul Murphy, said they would consider the reports urgently and he undertook to publish them as soon as possible, in line with the terms of reference.
He said the two governments were determined that where there are allegations of collusion the truth should emerge.
