Sinn Féin Would Fully Co-Operate With Nama Inquiry

Sinn Féin has said it would co-operate fully with an inquiry after its party member Daithí McKay resigned following allegations he had "coached" loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson before he gave evidence at Stormont's NAMA inquiry.

Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said the party would welcome an inquiry.

She said: "Sinn Féin would welcome an inquiry into these issues.

"Sinn Féin will co-operate fully with any inquiry and I am totally confident that any examination of the facts will confirm that Sinn Féin had absolutely no knowledge of, or involvement in, these events."

The DUP has also called for the police to investigate the matter.
