The Australian vice-captain spoke with AFL.com.au in the wake of an early-morning incident in Ennis on Monday, when a small group of players were twice asked by staff at the team hotel to turn their music down.
Davey said on Tuesday the incident had since been blown out of proportion.

"Back home there has been a lot of media coverage about it. It's disappointing … (but) at the same time we're here to do a job for our country and we move on," Davey said.
"I think it is also pretty disappointing for us as a playing group (for people) to think that we're not over here to get the job done and play for our country.
"We're very proud people and we've got a great privilege here to represent our country and, more importantly, our people back home.
"To hear that we're not here for the real reason - and that is to win - is very insulting to the boys and I guess in a way a bit disrespectful because we've prepared pretty well."
Asked whether the Australians' night out before Monday's incident had gone too far, Davey said he didn't think it had.
"I'm not going to lie, we had a couple of beers over dinner and we felt as though we did the right thing," he said.
"We stuck together, we got home together and it was just probably a little bit louder than what you'd expect.
"But in saying that, we had a disappointing game on Saturday and it was probably why it was blown a bit more out of proportion than what it actually was."
Davey was adamant the Australians' 22-point loss in last Saturday night's first Test was due to Ireland's intensity and outstanding play, rather than the visitors' attitude or preparation.
But the recently retired Melbourne forward said the Australians had thoroughly reviewed their performance and identified the things that had worked and those that hadn't.
He also said the team's training session on Tuesday had been the best and most intense so far tour on the tour.
"I can assure you come Saturday night at Croke Park in front of 85,000 people you're going to see 21 proud warriors go out there and play for our country but, more importantly, our people as well," Davey said.
Australian assistant coach and proud Irishman Tadhg Kennelly spoke at the team's official dinner on Monday night about the hardships his countrymen had suffered in their long-running battle for independence from England.
Davey said Kennelly's talk reinforced the similarities between the experiences of the Irish and Australia's indigenous people, and would be one of the most invaluable lessons youngsters such as Dom Barry, Jake Neade, Shaun Edwards and Cam Ellis-Yolmen would take out of the tour.
"We walked out of that dinner all pumped and ready to go," Davey said.
