although Bailey says the conversation with McNally was off the record

I don't take that to mean that you can't use to it colour your judgement. He could easily have quoted him directly or even just suggested that McNally had commented this or other. A quick email to check it's ok with him and bob's your uncle.

Most journalists would have little problem paraphrasing most of what was said anyway
