The Ministers for Finance and Public Expenditure will be hoping to convince voters that any recovery in recent months is down to government policy and the sacrifices of the Irish people.
In their first 'Spring Statement', they'll signal that tax cuts and spending increases are in the pipeline for Budget 2016, ahead of next year's general election.
Ministers at today's cabinet meeting are also expected to approve the start of pay and pension talks with public sector unions, after 7 years of cutbacks.
