No resolution has been reached between Stormont leaders and the Irish Government over the sharing of passenger data.
The impasse remains as a further 19 people died with Covid-19 in Northern Ireland, and another 640 individuals have tested positive for the virus.
The death toll has now reached 1,625 with just over 96,000 infections confirmed.
Last week, First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill criticised Irish Government leaders for failing to share information on travellers arriving on the island during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Executive is seeking access data on passenger locator forms filled out by people arriving in the Republic who may travel on to Northern Ireland.
Mrs Foster and Ms O'Neill indicated last Thursday that they planned to raise the matter directly with Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Ms O'Neill told the Assembly today that no resolution has yet been found. She was responding to a question by Ulster Unionist MLA Alan Chambers.
"We have raised this issue on every occasion we have had opportunity to raise the issue, and I think it is really regrettable there hasn't been a resolution as of yet," Ms O'Neill told politicians.
"I hope that perhaps Wednesday's meeting will allow some opportunity for there to be a way forward.
"We believe the (legal) issues have been resolved so I don't see any barrier now in terms of information being shared.
"That works both ways, it's north/south, it's south/north, it's east/west. I think it is really, really important that these things are looked at from purely a public health point of view and that no-one plays politics with this issue, it's far too serious.
"I think a conversation at the highest level of government is the way to resolve these things. There is a political solution to the issue of travel and I hope that can be found."
Also today, Stormont Justice Minister Naomi Long revealed that 7.5% (around one in every 13) of prisoners who were released early due to the coronavirus pandemic have allegedly reoffended.
Last March, some sentenced inmates were released early in response to the public health emergency.
Ms Long said the figure was a relatively small proportion of those freed temporarily.
She added: "That is a very positive experience in terms of how we have selected the prisoners and shows that the right support has been in place for them in the community."
Ms Long said prison officers were doing a good job amid the outbreak. "There is a strong case and argument to protect prison officers by rolling out the vaccine more rapidly," she added.
Some people remain off sick due to stress. Police numbers have also been stretched by coronavirus and they also face pressures posed by Brexit.
Ms Long said the Treasury had not been forthcoming with more cash to address the impact of the divorce deal.
Chief constable Simon Byrne has asked for an additional 800 officers but the minister said they faced a flat budget for next year.
"The departments have little scope for additional funding," she added.
