Sinn Fein's national executive is meeting in Dublin later today.
Party president Gerry Adams will update the Ard Comhairle following his meeting with the Northern Secretary, John Reid, this week.
Mr Adams is also due to meet the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, next week.
At today's Dublin meeting, Sinn Fein is expected to promote its 'no' campaign for the forthcoming referendum on the Nice Treaty.
