There is increasing speculation that Taoiseach Simon Harris will call the general election next Thursday with a likely polling date of Friday 29 November.
A draft Dáil schedule shows the Finance Bill clearing all stages in the Dáil on Tuesday in a four-hour debate.
This had been cited as the final hurdle to calling an election.
Several other pieces of legislation will be pushed through on Tuesday and Wednesday with the guillotine likely to be applied.
These include the Appropriations Bills, the Family Courts Bill, the Public Health (Tobacco) Amendment Bill and the companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill.
Supplementary estimates will also be passed.
However Thursday's Dáil schedule looks very light, leading many TDs to conclude that the election will be called that day with the Taoiseach going to Áras an Uachtaráin to ask President Michael D Higgins to dissolve the Dáil.
Once the President has dissolved the Dáil, a general election must be held within 30 days.
It is expected that the election will take place on Friday 29 November.
The draft Dáil schedule will be considered by the Business Committee this afternoon, but it is not expected to change.
Clarity on election date next week - Harris
Taoiseach Simon Harris said he hopes to provide clarity on the date of the general election next week.
Asked about the Dáil schedule next week, and whether he would attend the European Council meeting in Budapest next Friday, the Taoiseach said his absolute priority is the Finance Bill.
He said it looks like that will happen next week.
"It's really important that happens," said Mr Harris.
"I don't think anyone would appreciate a general election interrupting the reduction in the Universal Social Charge, or the changes to the inheritance tax.
"Once the Finance Bill passes, I will go swiftly in terms of providing people with clarity as to when the general election is," he said.
"I don't want to take the work of the Oireachtas for granted. [It] does have to debate and consider the Finance Bill.
"When that is concluded, I won't be dilly-dallying around in terms of providing people clarity when the general election is."
