A decision could be made on IAG's bid to take over Aer Lingus in the next two to three weeks.
The Irish Independent reports that the airline group has substantially addressed concerns raised over the potential €1.4 billion sale of the former flag carrier.
IAG representatives will meet with the Government's steering group today, and Transport Minister Paschal Donohue is expected to issue a statement afterwards.
Meanwhile, opposition to IAG's Aer Lingus takeover seems to be strong in Clare.
A poll of over 530 visitors to the clare.fm website has found that 66% of people think the government should reject the bid, which has been described as a potential blow for Shannon Airport.
Just 27% of those who took part in the poll feel the deal should go through, while the remainder of those who voted say they didn't know.
