TDs will vote in a confidence motion in the Dáil this afternoon.
It's been prompted by the fuel protests and the blockading of key infrastructure.
There's been 11 motions of confidence brought in either a Minister or the Government as a whole since 2018 - eight of those brought by Sinn Féin.
Everyone one of them has comfortably failed and the Government is confident today will be no different.
It has tabled a motion of confidence in itself - a procedural move that brings the debate earlier in the day and gives coalition TDs more speaking time.
Yesterday a number of Fianna Fáil TDs privately criticised both Taoiseach Micheál Martin and the Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan - but none gave any indication they'd vote against the Government.
Some independents are more questionable - with Danny Healy Rae being critical of the fuel and farmers package his brother helped to negotiate.
There's likely to be plenty of heat on the floor of the Dáil
Opposition TDs have plenty of ammunition to aim at the Government.
But those on the Government benches will go after opposition members who supported illegal blockades and whose solution to the crisis is to spend billions of euro without restraint.
After the dust has settled the Dáil will then be asked to vote through the excise cuts to petrol and diesel which will take effect at midnight, assuming of course this 12th confidence motion since 2018 goes the way of the previous 11.
