Tánaiste Micheál Martin is travelling to Lebanon for a visit to meet members of the 121st Infantry Battalion UNIFIL.
One of them, Private Seán Rooney, was killed last December after the convoy he was travelling with came under fire on its way to Beirut.
During his visit, the Foreign Affairs Minister will also meet the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, as well as the Lebanon's Defence and Foreign Affairs Ministers.
Mr Martin said these meetings will enable him to reiterate "the Irish Government's determination that all of the facts and circumstances of the incident in which Private Rooney was killed are fully established and that those responsible are brought to justice."
