'Jennie's Law' will go before Cabinet for approval on Tuesday.
It will see people convicted of domestic violence against a partner or former partner included on a public register.
Jennie's Law, named in honour of Jennifer Poole, who was murdered by her former partner Gavin Murphy, will allow those convicted of domestic violence against a current or former partner to be included on a public Register of Judgements.
The register will assist people in a relationship or considering a relationship with a person to ascertain whether they have a history of serious domestic violence convictions.
Bringing the law to Cabinet, Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan says that if a person is convicted of a serious criminal offence before the courts, that is a public conviction and the public is entitled to know about it.
Speaking about the law, Paul McAuliffe, TD for Dublin North West, welcomed the development saying: "The Minister for Justice, Jim O'Callaghan, has put in significant work in advance of bringing Jennie's Law to Cabinet this week. I look forward to cross-party support for the legislation as it's due to make its way through the House.
"Jennie’s Law, named in memory of Jennifer Poole, will give people who have concerns about their partner the right to find out if their partner has a history of violent convictions.
"This legislation is a result of tireless campaigning by Jason Poole, Jennifer's brother and family, who has been working over the past number of years to ensure that Jennie's Law is progressed and brought into law.
"Jason has been working alongside my colleagues Senator Fiona O’Loughlin and Minister O’Callaghan to ensure this is delivered.
The law aims to protect those living with domestic violence and will see the establishment of a nationwide Domestic Violence Register, which will be operated by the Courts Service.
"The Domestic Violence (Judgements) Register Bill (Jennie’s Law) will be transformative in helping people across Ireland, who are in a relationship, to discover whether their partner has a history of serious domestic violence convictions," he said.
