Cabinet is to approve a masterplan for a national remembrance centre to honour the residents of Mother and Baby Homes.
The centre will be located at the site of a former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott Street in Dublin.
It is expected to include a museum space, as well as a national research centre.
Full details will be published after this morning's Cabinet meeting and when survivors have been notified.
The Government has previously said the new centre will be accessible for all survivors, whether in other parts of Ireland or abroad.
It will also provide digital access to records and exhibits, as well as developing physical presences elsewhere to enable survivors to visit more easily.
There will also be the inclusion of personal testimonies of survivors; allowing the lived experiences of survivors to be formally accepted as part of the official record.

"Over the past three decades, Ireland has had a difficult reckoning with its history of institutional abuse," he said.
"This centre will provide a place of reflection and remembrance, while also ensuring that future generations can fully understand the appalling impact of those institutions.
"I believe this project will make a significant contribution in our journey of recognising and learning from the failures of the past and acknowledging the hurt which continues to be felt by survivors and their families," he added.
It comes as the head of the excavation at the site of the former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co Galway has said the timeframe depends on what is found.
A plan is in place for the long-awaited excavation of the burial site, with digging set to begin next year.

"In about six months I will have a better idea of a timeframe," he said.
"I will hopefully have proceeded on or made progress on the start-up phase.
"It really depends on what we find.
"If we talk about an identification programme: if a very small number of close family members come forward, then the identification programme is necessarily very small.
"If a huge number come forward then it's very big, so that's a time factor.
"When we recover the remains how many will we recover? Will DNA be actually recoverable from these bones?
"If DNA is recoverable and we have a lot of relatives, it will take a long time.
"If DNA is not recoverable, and we have very few relatives, it will be a very short identification".
Mr Mac Sweeney will oversee the recovery of remains in an area where there are no burial records for 796 children.
