The Dail is returning to work after a nine-week summer break, facing a series of challenges including a housing crisis, spiralling energy bills and how to balance the budget amid a cost-of-living emergency.
Ireland's lower house of parliament, the Dail, resumes from 2pm on Wednesday, while the Seanad, the Oireachtas' upper house, resumes at 2.30pm.
The Government's legislative programme is due to go before Cabinet on Wednesday with 35 priority bills, according to chief whip Jack Chambers.
