Peter Robinson recovering after suspected heart attack
The 66-year-old DUP leader was rushed to Belfast’s Royal Victoria Hospital in an ambulance shortly after 9am yesterday. The Robinson family, including his wife Iris, who sparked a scandal in 2010 which led to her husband temporarily standing down, are at his bedside.
British prime minister David Cameron was among the first politicians to wish Mr Robinson well. He said on Twitter: “My best wishes to Northern Ireland’s First Minister, Peter Robinson, who is in hospital. I hope he has a speedy recovery.”
