Mr. Daithí McKay:

It is well known that he has blogged at some length on this. It is also well known that he appears to have a lot of material which some believe may have been fed to him from another source. It was an issue of debate for the committee. What the committee agreed to do was to set a bar. The bar that has been set for him and future witnesses is that they have to prove that they have some connection to the terms of reference of the inquiry. He provided some information and gave testimony before giving full testimony, as it were, to show that he had information in regard to the Millmount development in east Belfast which was discussed between the Finance Minister and NAMA. In a sense, Mr. Bryson ticked the box in terms of some of the issues that the Department of Finance and Personnel in the North was discussing with NAMA.
