The Labour leader sulked a bit if he didn't get his own way and he could be stubborn, Finlay told TV3.
But there had never been a cross word between them and they got on well, he said. During the leadership election campaign, which saw Rabbitte emerge as the Labour leader, Fergus Finlay worked as the campaign organiser for his opponent, Brendan Howlin.
But immediately on his election in , Rabbitte coaxed Finlay back from the world of political lobbying, knowing full well, according to those in the party, that Finlay was the best political strategist the party had ever had. Back in the Spring days, there were complaints that Spring, Finlay and a few others would make all the decisions that mattered and just tell the party what they were. The decision to nominate Adi Roche to run for president in was a case in point.
No one was told before hand and one TD said that the announcement to the party that she would be their candidate was like watching the Oscars, except no one knew what the nominations were. Spring produced an envelope opened, it and read out her name and the parliamentary party were expected to clap. At the time Finlay was also being criticised as arrogant and even his admirers would admit that he had a tendency towards pomposity. The Adi Roche presidential campaign was a disaster and saw Finlay depart Labour of his own volition, while still well thought-of in the party.
Even though he said he liked Dunlop, the pairs' ill-concealed antipathy to each other added spice to the late night political talk show. Crazy, right? But the Centre for People with Intellectual Disabilities exists in Trinity College today because my missus and her colleagues beat the door down.

I have to admit that she did most of that, as well as raising four independent and resourceful daughters — with a largely absent husband, who was immersed in politics for years.
