To go back to the point made and expand on it little, with reference to page 17 of the review of the Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Finance and Personnel of the sale of NAMA properties in Northern Ireland and the paragraph referenced earlier, which states the committee also noted from the BBC Northern Ireland "Spotlight" programme that Mr. Brian Rowntree stated:

...that the NIAC members had access to information which was of a ‘commercially sensitive nature’ and which offered ‘commercial opportunity’ and would have been of some value to a bidder for Project Eagle. This is of particular significance as it appears to contradict the position adopted by NAMA to date.

What was the nature of the information? Much of what Mr. Rowntree stated in his opening statement tended to say there was a lot of general information.
