Iris Robinson 'broke rules' over lover's loan

The North's First Minister Peter Robinson was under new pressure tonight after it was alleged that his wife organised a £50,000 (€55,752) loan to help her young lover set up a business in Belfast.

Iris Robinson is said to have secured the money from two family friend developers so 19-year-old Kirk McCambley could open a restaurant on the banks of the River Lagan.
