"I learned something about you yesterday, that I will not forget and that will govern our relationship from here onwards. In terms of the nature of the engagements, I've never seen the likes of it before."

Alan Kelly quickly responded: "Taoiseach you're also the Taoiseach that said the banks weren't bailed out and your threats and roaring down the phone and threats in here don't, don't bother me. I let the public decide who they believe. I think we already know."
