Peter Robinson denies 'scurrilous and unfounded' Nama payment allegations

Democratic Unionist Party leader Peter Robinson has rejected allegations he was to receive any payment linked to the North's largest ever property sale.

Dismissing as baseless the accusations made to a Stormont scrutiny committee, Mr Robinson, who has temporarily stood aside as first minister to facilitate talks to save the devolved Assembly at Stormont, said he would be willing to appear before MLAs.
