Minister for Agriculture Martin Heydon TD and Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien will update Cabinet on a fuel support scheme for several sectors including haulage, construction, agriculture, quarries, and fisheries.
The scheme was drawn up in the aftermath of widespread protests over rising energy costs.
The details of these schemes are now being made public.
According to RTÉ, up to 120,000 farmers and 1,500 full-time agricultural contractors will receive financial aid.
Combined with the earlier excise cuts, the package will result in an effective reduction of €274 in the purchase of 1,000 litres of green diesel.
The payments will cover the months of March up to the end of July.
€15m has been allocated to a fuel support scheme for fisheries and aquaculture.
Last night, the Government party leaders agreed that building contractors and quarries would also be covered by a bespoke scheme.
While as many as 50,000 vehicles, including buses, could be eligible for the Road Transporters Support Scheme.
The Department of Transport estimates that an average sized haulage business could be in line for a payment of €16,230.
