The Minister for Social Protection has said a memo will be brought to Cabinet on Tuesday in relation to the entitlements of international protection applicants and Ukrainian refugees in Ireland.
Heather Humphreys said her department is working with the Department of Justice and the Department of Integration on a review and that the Attorney General is also being consulted.
"We are also consulting with the Attorney General to see what legal obligations we have to meet," she said.
The minister said: "I think what's very important here, is we have to meet our legal and international obligations.
"We want to make sure we're meeting those, and that that's the ceiling and we're not paying over and above what we are legally entitled to do.
"I'm very clear if there's a ceiling there that we don't go above that ceiling, that we remain under it and we do meet and support the people we need to support."
She discussions are being held and "we are hoping to bring memos to cabinet next week".
A spokesperson for Taoiseach Simon Harris has said Mr Harris is working together with the coalition leaders to prepare proposals for Government to consider next week.
The spokesperson said: "This will include examining the levers in a number of government departments to ensure Ireland is operating a firm system and that we are not out of kilter with other EU countries.
"This will not be a long drawn-out process as the Taoiseach has said, with further decisions due at Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.
"In the meantime, quicker processing of international protection applications will continue and sites on State land are being advanced to stand up safe and sanitary places to stay."
It comes as the Government announced that a review of payments made to migrants will be carried out "within weeks".
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe was speaking after the Taoiseach wrote about Government plans to make Ireland less attractive for economic migrants in the Sunday Independent.
The Taoiseach said he will pull levers in Government departments to "ensure Ireland adopts a firmer system, and ensures we are not out of kilter with other EU countries."
He said "this will not be a long drawn-out process. The Government will take decisions on this soon."
The minister said the Government wants to ensure people are treated compassionately and fairly as they come to Ireland seeking refuge.
But he said there is also a need to ensure the country acts in a way that is in line with similar offerings and decisions made across Europe.
He also said it was important that the Government makes good use of taxpayers money while treating people in a fair way.
On Thursday, more than 100 tents were removed from the Grand Canal in a multi-agency operation. That followed a similar operation last month to remove an encampment from the Mount St IPO office.
Figures this week showed there are more than 30,000 people living in direct provision and emergency International Protection (IP) accommodation, according to the Department of Integration.
Mr Donohoe said it was important to remember Ireland has a very successful work permit system in place, which is a very important contributor to the country's economy and society.
He said it was important to assess why people were coming to Ireland and that that is in line with how other counties do it.
"Obviously, the context of all of this is the number of people who are coming to Ireland has increased very considerably over the last number of months," the minister said.
"This is happening to other countries as well. But this will be worked within weeks, and I know the Government will act quickly."
Tents latest example of Government's 'failure' on migration
Tented encampments being established by asylum seekers across Dublin city centre are the latest example of the Government's "failure" to adequately address migration, according to Sinn Féin TD Louise O’Reilly.
Speaking on RTÉ’s The Week in Politics, the party’s spokesperson on enterprise, trade, employment and workers' rights said that Ireland’s current migration system is not fair or efficient.
"What people want is a system that is fair, that is enforced and that is efficient.
"The system that we have at the moment is not fair, it is not enforced and it is not efficient.
Ms O’Reilly added: "People can see all around them, not just with the tents, with a lot of other factors all around them the abject failure of the Government to plan.
"So, we are now in a situation where the tents will be removed. The Government will pay, on a Monday, for people to have tents. On a Friday, they are paying for a company to come and destroy and clear away those tents."
Labour TD Ged Nash has criticised the Government's approach to asylum seekers living in tents by labelling it "Ireland’s Rwanda policy".
Speaking on RTÉ’s The Week in Politics, Mr Nash also described Taoiseach Simon Harris as attempting to be a "hardman" on immigration.
"He’s appearing to want to come across as some kind of a hardman on immigration," he said.
Mr Nash added: "The best thing the Taoiseach can do is actually implement longstanding Irish law in relation to our asylum and immigration system.
"And also provide for the State-led, human rights informed, accommodation that we require in this country to accommodate asylum seeker regardless of the numbers of people coming here.
"It seems to me that, to some degree, tents appear to be Ireland’s Rwanda policy," he said.
Mr Nash added that that there should be a State-led solution to the issue of asylum seekers sleeping rough.
"Some people seem to be quite comfortable with the reputational damage that’s been done to Ireland. We need a State-led solution and targets to that."
