Simon Coveney said that two flood relief schemes would be in place to respond to unprecedented weather damage last week.
Warnings of heavy rainfall are in place across 20 counties, with forecasters urging people to be aware of flooding and dangerous road conditions on Monday.
A Status Orange rain warning is in place for counties Kilkenny, Wexford and Waterford until 1am on Tuesday. The warnings come as towns and villages in the south-east recover from the effects of Storm Babet, where unusually heavy rainfall led to homes and businesses being flooded. Mr Coveney told RTE Radio on Monday that this would be for places which had been affected by flooding, but not badly.
