A spokesperson for Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he has nothing to add to comments he has already made regarding his future.
Mr Kenny has returned to Ireland following "what is widely acknowledged as being a very successful visit to the US and the White House in particular," the spokesperson added.
Last month, Enda Kenny told the Fine Gael parliamentary party he would address his future "effectively and conclusively" upon his return from the annual St Patrick's programme of engagements in the US.
Speaking to reporters in New York yesterday Mr Kenny indicated he will not announce any retirement plans until political uncertainty in Northern Ireland is addressed and the European Union's negotiating stance on Brexit is agreed.
Mr Kenny said those "immediate priorities" would take precedence over "everything else" on his return to Ireland tomorrow after a week-long trip to the US.
He had been under pressure to set a timetable for his departure.

This afternoon, several Fine Gael TDs and Senators called on Mr Kenny to stick to his previous promise to clarify his intentions on the leadership on his return from the US.
Dublin Fingal TD Alan Farrell said there was no reason the original timeline should change, and he said Mr Kenny should set out his position at next Wednesday's parliamentary party meeting or the one after.

He said that there was always going to be something which would require Mr Kenny to stay, "perhaps in his own mind", and he would await Mr Kenny's contribution next week.
Mr Farrell said last month he no longer had confidence in Mr Kenny.
Senator Neale Richmond said he hoped they would hear from the Taoiseach next Wednesday as had been promised.
He said there would be a frank discussion and that would be the forum for it.
Senator Catherine Noone said Mr Kenny would come under pressure to clarify his position if he did not do so and she said there was a need for clarity.
Another TD, speaking off the record, said Mr Kenny did not want to be forced out and wants to pick his own time and that could push into June or July.
