Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien will update Cabinet colleagues today on progress this year in the Housing for All plan.
14,017 homes were completed between January and June - the highest number for this period since records began in 2011.
18,500 homes have commenced in the first six months of 2023, up 12% on the same period last year.
It is expected that the target of 29,000 new homes for 2023, as set out in the Housing for All plan, will be exceeded.
The minister will also seek approval for the drafting of the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Bill 2023 to give effect to the boundary review of the Electoral Commission.
An amendment is expected to be tabled later to add the additional European seat following confirmation.
Foreign Affairs
Tánaiste Micheál Martin will seek the retrospective authority of the Government to file a written statement at the International Court of Justice in an Advisory Opinion case.
The court has been asked by the UN General Assembly to give its opinion on the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
His department submitted Ireland's statement in late July.
Transport
Minister of State at the Department of Transport Jack Chambers will seek formal approval to lower speed limits on many roads.
This would see speed capped at 80km/h on national secondary roads where the limit currently stands at 100km/h.
The limit on local and rural roads would drop from 80km/h to 60km/h.
Within towns, cities and residential areas there would be a limit of 30km/h, while roads on the fringes of urban areas could be capped at 50km/h.
