Iris Robinson was 59 when the affair began.

New allegations of affairs by the wife of Peter Robinson Northern Ireland's First Minister have surfaced following the shock revelations last week that she had a relationship with a 19-year-old boy, the son of a close friend who she is also said to have slept with.

Iris Robinson resigned and admitted she had attempted suicide after the affair with Kirk McCambley, the youth she also got a $100,000 loan for to start his new restaurant business. That loan is now being investigated.

The Sunday Tribune newspaper has now reported that while her husband was being held in jail in the Irish Republic, Robinson had an affair with a high-ranking member of the Democratic Unionist Party.

"The Sunday Tribune has been told she previously had an affair with McCambley's father, Billy, who had a drink problem. There was another affair in the 1980s with a DUP member. After Peter Robinson led a loyalist invasion into Clontibret, Co Monaghan, the RUC withdrew security from his east Belfast home. Off-duty security force members provided the Robinsons with protection. The DUP member, whose name is known to this newspaper, regularly visited Iris when Peter wasn't at home. They had numerous sexual encounters. We are not publishing his name to protect his privacy," the newspaper claims.

The newspaper also reported that she also claimed that Catholic workers in a restaurant once tried to poison her husband.

"We have to be very careful. About 10 years ago, we had a meal in a restaurant on the outskirts of Belfast that had a very nationalist staff. Peter ordered steak. They put rat poison in it. He suffered bleeding and was extremely sick."

HER SIN IS BIG BECAUSE SHE HAS HUSBAND AND SHE CHEATED HIM BUT IF SHE WAS DIVORCED THAT IS SEXUAL SLAVERY AND ONE WAY RELATION

I'm speechless, truly speechless. Why did we get a description of her house and underwear? The house sounds positively tacky and the underwear! I'm speechless.

She's a sinner just like all the journalists who remain silent about their many secret affairs. Wish Iris Robinson future happiness not condemnation. It can't have being too easy for the wife of any politician in Northern Ireland particularly while the guns and bombs were blazing! Here was a golden chance to hold out the hand of friendship to the protestant community in Northern Ireland but of course Irelands dunce journalists blew it once again.

This woman is out of her mind-she looks from her photo to be very unstable

Sounds like a totally disfunctional family. Both of them apparently immature and incapable of building and maintaining a marriage in which they respect each other. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and this behaviour did not happen suddenly--it apparently has been building for some time. All of the focus is on Mrs. Robinson, but, how many much younger women did Mr. Robinson have affairs with?? Perhaps -- what is good for the goose is good for the gander??-----?

Delay delay .. another means by which planted ones want apartheid things to remain as always. Such Brit dysfuntional behaviour is normal in the Merry O world. Get a "News Of The World" paper and you'll know that I'm spot on.

Let's check into the whereabouts of Tiger Woods during past tournaments in the British Isles. Mrs. R. may been a bit out of his age range, but certainly he was not out of hers.

What a revolting excerpt. Does anyone really care that the woman had the ill class to layout undergarments for a function and to then show them to a reporter--a little too strategic if you ask me. In any case, the woman wanted to leave her husband, but had no trouble spending his money on their home did she? Makes no sense--if you want to leave, leave, but don't give away the goodies to strangers trying to make yourself some kind of icon.

It would be almost comical if it wasn't so sad to see yet another Christian Fundamentalist Extremist "give in to temptation". It would be great to be a fly on the wall and hear all about the "fire and brimstone" and "Devil's work" in the Robinson household.
