Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien will update the Cabinet later today on residential construction activity.
The latest data shows 7,349 homes were commenced in the first three months of 2023 - the highest first quarter since records began in 2014.
The Central Statistics Office suggests this is also a 19% increase on the same quarter in 2022.
He will say the completion of 29,851 new homes in 2022 means the government exceeded its "Housing for All" policy target of 24,600 by 21%.
Minister O'Brien will also note the First Home Scheme annual report, and provide an update on staffing levels at An Bord Pleanála.
Meanwhile, Tánaiste and Minister for Defence, Micheál Martin, will seek Cabinet approval today for the renewal of Irish Defence Forces participation in the UN peacekeeping operation in Lebanon for a further 12 months.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, is Ireland's biggest overseas deployment, with 340 personnel currently serving in the south of the country.
The 121st Infantry Battalion will finish its deployment at the end of this month - a six-month tour of duty marked by the death Private Seán Rooney, whose vehicle came under attack in the coastal Lebanese village of Al-Aqbiya last December.
Lebanese authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident, which also led to Private Rooney's colleague, Trooper Shane Kearney, sustaining head injuries.
Earlier this month, the Tánaiste carried out a ministerial review of the troops in the 122nd Infantry Battalion ahead of their deployment to Lebanon.
Mr Martin is also seeking Cabinet approval for the preparation of policy proposals which will lead to high level structural changes in the Defence Forces.
The proposals will include recommendations contained in the Report of the Commission of the Defence Forces, which was published in February of last year, to provide effective assurance and accountability.
These include the creation of a post of the Chief of Defence, to replace the current role of Chief of Staff, which would be supported by a Vice Chief of Defence.
The creation of three Service Chiefs, and Deputy Service Chiefs, for the land, air and maritime forces, is also set out in the report's recommendations.
It is expected Mr Martin will also ask the Government to note that the Attorney General has advised there is no constitutional bar to legislating for the recommendations.
Elsewhere, the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority - a new State agency dealing with offshore developments - will be formally established in mid-July.
The Cabinet will be informed today that the date is 17 July.
MARA has been created to examine and assess consent applications for developments such as offshore wind turbines.
It will also grant licences and ensure they're complied with.
Earlier this month, Eirgrid announced the successful bidders in the country's first ever auction to generate electricity from offshore wind.
