The Dail will vote later on extending the government's emergency Covid powers until November.
The measures, which include the mandate to wear facemasks and a ban on large gatherings, were due to expire in June.
A provision in the bill will also allow for a further three month extension if deemed necessary.
Opposition parties and civil liberty groups have voiced their frustration at the extension.
