The Lockkeeper's inn which Iris Robinson obtained £50,000 from two property developers for her 19-year-old lover, Kirk McCambley, to launch the cafe beside the Lagan River in south Belfast, Northern Ireland, 11 Jan 2010. Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson is under increased political pressure over allegations about his wife's financial affairs. A BBC programme asked why the DUP leader did not tell the authorities his wife had not registered £50,000 she obtained from two property developers. Iris Robinson used the money to help her young lover start a business. Mr Robinson said he will "resolutely defend" attacks on his character and "contest any allegation of wrongdoing". He is to speak to the media later on Friday. BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme said Iris Robinson broke the law by not declaring her financial interest in the business deal.
