Taoiseach Micheál Martin is expected to give an update on how Ireland will cope with the influx of Ukrainian refugees as it has emerged 6,600 Ukrainians have already arrived into the country.
Mr Martin is in Washington DC where he will begin his first day of official engagements before meeting US President Joe Biden on Wednesday night.
However, domestic issues back home have led to an emergency Cabinet meeting being called on Tuesday with Ministers dialling in virtually from around the world.
