Taoiseach Micheál Martin is expected to update ministers on Ukraine, including the Government's intention to intensify its support for the war-torn country.
Mr Martin has participated in four meetings of The Coalition of the Willing in support of Ukraine, which involves a group of more than 30 countries.
Mr Martin is of the view that while Ireland has given unwavering support to the government in Kyiv, it should now be intensified further in security, humanitarian and political terms.
He is expected to inform Cabinet that there is support for increasing pressure on Russia, including through strengthening sanctions.
At the same time, Mr Martin believes the Coalition has made significant progress in progressing a package of security guarantees that would underpin a future peace agreement.
Ireland is currently providing non-lethal military support to Ukraine, and is considering participation in a peacekeeping mission in the event of a ceasefire or peace agreement.
Housing
Meanwhile, the Minister for Housing James Browne is expected to outline to Cabinet his plan to prioritise €50 million which will be targeted specifically at acquisitions to support households exit long-term emergency homeless accommodation.
The mechanism is expanding the Social Housing Second-Hand Acquisitions Programme.
It is understood the funding measure will be ring-fenced and, in the first instance, will focus on larger families with children and those engaged in the 'Housing First' programme.
Funding will be allocated to the eight city and county councils with the highest numbers of households that have been in emergency accommodation for more than 24 months in the Dublin region and 12 months or more in the remaining four regional authorities.
The issue will be discussed post-Cabinet at the National Homelessness Action Committee which will convene at the Custom House later this afternoon, and is chaired by Minister Browne.
Meanwhile, Minister for Social Protection Dara Calleary is expected to update Cabinet on proposals for a new ambitious Child Poverty Target for the years 2025 to 2030.
He will say that tackling child poverty is a key commitment of this Government and needs to have cross-departmental support in areas such as income supports, education, employment, housing and childcare.
The minister will add that work is already under way to lift more children out of poverty, with a particular focus on the Working Family Payment and the Child Support Payment.
