A programme for government between Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party is expected to be agreed today.
The party leaders said a deal is close last night as they left the talks in government buildings.
There's a number of clear wins for the Green Party in this document.
A roadmap for an annual 7 per cent reduction in carbon emissions out to 2030, a commitment on a 2:1 ratio of spending on public transport ahead of roads, and roughly a million euro a day will be spent on walking and cycling infrastructure.
While carbon taxes will increase to 100 euro a tonne over the next 10 years.
The document spells out a large programme of building for affordable and social homes through the Land Development Agency.
The next government will plan to replace direct provision with a not for profit approach.
The document also has plans for a new childcare agency to deal with issues in the sector including costs, insurance and standards.
It will outline an exit plan for the COVID recession with no income tax or USC increases, and that the next government will start repaying the deficit in a 3-4 year window.
Other promises include a citizens' assembly on drugs, referendums on the right to water and housing and the banning of imported fracked gas.
The leaders of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens will meet again this morning to try and finalise the deal.
