Minister of State Niall Collins is to ask the Ceann Comhairle to set aside time for him to make a Dáil statement on a planning application he made in 2001.
The junior minister is embroiled in controversy after accusations relating to the planning permission were made on The Ditch website.
Mr Collins has requested a copy of the 2001 planning file from Limerick Country Council and he has insisted that he acted correctly at all times.
While the Taoiseach told the Dáil earlier that Mr Collins had asked to make a Dáil statement today, there are indications that it might not take place until next week.
Labour justice spokesperson Aodhán Ó Ríordáin called on the junior minister to make the Dáil statement quickly, saying the accusations surrounding the planning application were "serious".
Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon said the minister must also answer questions on the application.
In 2001, Mr Collins successfully applied for planning to build a home in Patrickswell in Limerick.
This was an area where planning applicants had to demonstrate a housing need, but Mr Collins owned a house in Dooradoyle in Limerick City at the time.
He said this was permitted under the planning rules in 2001 because the Dooradoyle home was not in a "pressure zone" where a housing need had to be shown.
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney said the minister's statement was very clear in stating that he "acted appropriately at all times in the context of that planning application".
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Coveney said that statement "speaks for itself" and unless something else comes up he is satisfied with it.
"I think Niall Collins has been adamant that he's done nothing wrong here, and I believe him in that."
