Fealy said the incident was a "glaring example" of the backlash that can occur as a result of a few frustrated remarks.

His remarks were then aimed at Nick Clegg who has always said that the Lib Dems would talk to the leader of the largest party in the first place in coalition negotiations.
He said: "I will be seeking to make further remarks about the implications of this election both for the country and for the party that I lead and my position in the Liberal Democrats when I make remarks to my colleagues later this morning when I return to Westminster".
