What ministry did Dick Spring (former Labour Party leader) say he
would like if Labour returned to Government in coalition with either
Fianna F il or Fine Gael.
Probably in April or May 2002.
According to the Irish Examiner of May 10, 2002:
"Since the last election, Spring has had a very low public profile,
but has sprung back in the past six months, indicating clearly that he
would be interested in an economic ministry should Labour be part of
the next government."
Donal Hickey, "Spring is canvassing more than ever"

The leader of the Labour Party, Ruairi Quinn, said before the election
he had no predetermined preference for Labour portfolios.
