A meeting of the board of the council, made up of 11 members, including Chief Justice Frank Clarke was convened at short notice this week. It was due to take place on Wednesday, but will now happen today.
It is understood there is no fixed agenda for the meeting and a “general discussion” will take place.
It comes in the middle of an unprecedented crisis for the Supreme Court following the attendance of Mr Justice Woulfe at an Oireachtas Golf Society dinner in Galway in August.
The judicial council was responsible for publishing the review of former chief justice Susan Denham into the issue.
It also published a transcript of her interview with Judge Woulfe and indemnified her in relation to any potential legal action in relation to the matter.
