The Tánaiste has said that he would like to see the Government run to its full term in March 2025.
Micheál Martin was speaking ahead of his party's 81st Ard Fheis which gets under way in Dublin tomorrow.
The Fianna Fáil leader said that it was important that the Government's policies had time to "bed down and have impact", adding that he believed there had been "substantial progress" in a number of areas including housing, health and addressing climate issues.
The two other coalition leaders, Green Party leader Eamon Ryan and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar, have also indicated that they want to see the Government run its full term.
Around 1,500 delegates are due to attend the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis tomorrow. "Making a difference and delivering in Government" is the theme of the event.
Mr Martin said that the party was now preparing for the local and European elections. At present Fianna Fáil is the largest party in local government, with 276 councillors.
"My speech (tomorrow) will focus very much on policy and substance, from education, health, housing, climate and much more," he said.
Asked about future coalition prospects with Sinn Féin, Mr Martin said that "our policies do not align with Sinn Féin".
However, he said that anything can happen "in terms of the fragmented nature of Dáil Éireann", adding that it was "too early and somewhat premature for pundits to be already trying to form the next government well in advance of a general election".
