The newspaper also reported that she went to the Reverend Ian Paisley to try and save her marriage. "Sources have also said Iris once visited the Reverend Ian Paisley and said she wanted to leave Peter. Paisley advised her to try to make the marriage work for the sake of their children," the Sunday Tribune reported.  

The newspaper stated that she knew McCambley from the time he was nine years old and working in his father's butcher shop. He was an only child and 'extremely vulnerable' after his father died of cancer, which is when she began the affair.

She wanted to leave Peter. Paisley advised her to try to make the marriage work for the sake of their children.
Suzanne Breen, the journalist for The Sunday Tribune, described a visit to Robinson's house.

“The Robinsons' home – a huge white villa in east Belfast – is Iris's pride and joy. The opulence is overpowering: curtains of wine and gold silk rising into a central coronet, towering Chinese vases, hundreds of priceless antiques, and chandeliers in every room. ‘I think I was born in another era,’ Iris said as she gave me a tour. Each room is themed. The dining room is oriental, the sitting room old English, the bathroom Italian, and one bedroom was French. Iris designed them all herself. She hired an artist to paint frescoes – a Tuscan landscape in the bathroom, an African one in the porch.

“A massive four-poster Gothic bed with heart-shaped cushions dominated the Robinsons' bedroom. Iris had her own dressing room. Black lacy underwear was laid out for a function she was attending later. She opened her "bra drawers" to reveal row upon row of sexy lingerie. "Peter has over 1,000 ties and I have as many bras," she said.
