The Government is due to consider a number of memos on housing and planning being brought to Cabinet by Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne.
Among them will be the text of the bill that will allow for planning permissions to be extended for up to three years if development is being held up by judicial review proceedings.
Pre-legislative scrutiny of the bill has been waived and the minister aims to have the bill enacted before the summer break.
A plan to significantly cut red tape for local authorities will also be presented. It will simplify the current four step process to just one step.
In addition, Minister Browne will present a plan to regularly publish figures for local authorities that will show how many social houses are being delivered compared to the targets set.
Ministers are also expected to get an update from Tánaiste Simon Harris on the progress of trade talks with the United States.
Mr Harris will say that while the expected baseline 10% tariff will pose challenges for the Irish economy, there is positive momentum in the talks as they approach the 9 July deadline.
Any deal that is made will have to be assessed against what exclusions from the 10% tariff can be secured, including scope for zero to zero arrangements that may be agreed for key sectors.
However, he is also expected to tell ministers that nobody can predict what will happen with certainty.
The Cabinet meeting will take place in the absence of Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who is due to arrive in Japan for a four-day visit.
