Taoiseach Micheál Martin is due to speak to the media on Wednesday about Ireland’s response to the war in Ukraine.
It comes as Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney has said Irish families may have to open their homes to help accommodate up to 20,000 Ukrainian refugees that are fleeing their country due to the Russian invasion.
Mr Martin alongside Higher Education Minister Simon Harris are expected to take questions later as they announce projects awarded funding under the North-South Research Programme.
Mr Martin will also field questions from Opposition leaders during Leaders’ Questions at 12pm in the Dáil as Sinn Fein are expected to put pressure on the Government on the intensification of sanctions on Russia and Putin.
The Government has defended its decision not to expel the Russian ambassador to Ireland, Yury Filatov stating they need to keep the channels of communication open to help any Irish people living in Russia.
But Opposition TDs are keeping the pressure on the Government and on Wednesday, Sinn Féin spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Defence, John Brady TD repeated his call for the expulsion of the Russian Ambassador during a wide-ranging contribution to a debate on the security situation in Ukraine.
He said: "I believe that Ireland needs to go further and expel the Russian Ambassador to Ireland.
“The government needs to go further and act immediately to address the lack of regulation in our financial sector that has allowed Russian shell companies to wash €118 billion through the IFSC, something that Sinn Féin has been asking the government to address for over a year and a half at this stage."
Last month, a review of a CAMHS facility in south Kerry found that 46 children suffered significant harm.
There was no system to check the prescribing of medications or the quality of service by a junior doctor treating some children.
On Wednesday, the HSE will face questioning by TDs and Senators at an Oireachtas Health committee.
The Irish Mirror will have a full review of what was said at the committee on this website later today.
Also on Wednesday, groups representing trade unions and employers will address the Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment on new remote working legislation by Tanáiste Leo Varadkar.
The new law is designed to give employees the right to request remote working and will require employers to provide reasonable grounds for refusing requests.
However, the grounds for refusal, all 13, have been described as vague and favours the employer by trade unions.
IBEC is also expected to tell the committee that while it is generally supportive of the Government's remote working strategy, it has concerns about the need to enact legislation and the timing of the proposed scheme.
