The Ireland boss had withdrawn himself from consideration on the coaching ticket.
British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland says Andy Farrell could still be part of his coaching setup for this summer's tour of South Africa.
The Ireland boss has opted not to make the trip, while the summer plans for his own squad are sorted out.
