The Taoiseach has brushed off criticism of a TV interview earlier this week.
Opposition parties accused Enda Kenny of failing to answer questions put to him in a rare appearance on RTE's Prime Time on Thursday night.
The Taoiseach faced particular criticism for refusing to say whether he had been called back to give further evidence to the Fennelly Commission.
He also refused to say whether Ireland had asked other Eurozone countries for a write-down of its bailout debts after his election in 2011.
But Enda Kenny says he's not bothered by the criticism.
"There are always people who will take their own views, as they're entitled to, about performances on television at any one time," he said to reporters at his party's national conference in Castlebar.
"It's a bit like football - sometimes games you play very good, some games you don't. At the end of the day it's the result that matters."
The Taoiseach also confirmed that he had spoken to finance minister Michael Noonan about his recent health concerns, including surgery on his eye last weekend.
"I'm very happy with Michael Noonan, he has been a really sold anchor to this government - in particular in bringing both respect and trust to the finance portfolio," he said.
The Taoiseach also said the government had not yet ruled out seeking a bank deal from the Eurozone's bailout fund, despite earlier comments from Minister Noonan that the state was set to make a profit on its €30 billion investments in AIB, Bank of Ireland and Permanent TSB.
If Ireland were to pursue a deal from the ESM bailout fund, it could only expect to get back the original money invested - as other Eurozone governments would almost certainly refuse to underwrite a deal that results in Ireland profiting at the direct expense of other nations.
