It is expected to decide whether or not to appeal the decision.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan has previously said the Irish government will appeal the ruling.
Independent ministers have sought the recall of the Irish parliament if they are to back an appeal.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that independent ministers also sought a strong statement on tax policy if an appeal was to have their support.
The cabinet first met on Wednesday but decided to adjourn until Friday for "further time to reflect on the issues and to clarify a number of legal and technical issues".
The Irish government has said it "disagrees profoundly with the commission"s analysis".
Apple chief executive Tim Cook told Irish broadcaster RTÉ that the European Commission"s decision was "maddening" and "political".
He added that he was "very confident" the ruling would be overturned on appeal.
However, European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager rejected Mr Cook"s claims.
"The is a decision based on the facts of the case, looking into Apple Sales International, how they are arranged within Ireland, and the profits recorded there," she said.
