The Tánaiste has signalled he may not object if it is the "desire" of "others" to call an election before Christmas.
Micheál Martin has repeatedly said previously he would prefer an election in 2025.
He confirmed there had not been a discussion between coalition leaders about calling the election.
Speaking on the Irish Times Inside Politics Podcast, Micheál Martin seemed willing to have that discussion.
However, the Tánaiste insisted that the election could not go ahead without the passing of the Finance Bill.
Mr Martin said: "The Finance Bill will be the key piece of legislation. That's scheduled for the first week of November... committee stage.
"So if it's the desire of some... and others, to do things earlier, we'd need to game that and people would need to work through the the timelines around critical pieces of legislation."
He said: “To a large extent there are two dates for this election – one is end of November/beginning of December, or February.
“The gap between November and February isn’t huge.”
Mr Martin pointed to the legislative timeframe, stating that the Government had passed its Planning Bill and was about to pass its Gambling Bill and hoped to pass a Mental Health Bill in the coming weeks.
Mr Martin continued: “I think what people want is to complete work to make sure that there’s a solid bit of work done and that we end up, that we end the Government in a harmonious way, having worked together for four-and-a-half years now.
“It would make a difference if you don’t get the Finance Act through. The Finance Act is important in terms of a whole range of measures.
“That has to get through before we can have an election.”
Mr Martin said he believed the difference between an election in November and February is “marginal”.
He added: “I felt February gave us a comfort zone to get stuff done.
“But I think the Finance Act has to be done.” - Additional reporting from Press Association
