Iris Robinson - Later Years

Later Years

It was reported that Robinson had been receiving psychiatric treatment in a London clinic from January 2010 and returned to Northern Ireland on 19 September 2010 to continue treatment.

Robinson made her first appearance in public almost seven months after her return, at the funeral of her mother at Bethany Free Presbyterian Church in County Armagh on 14 April 2011. Among the mourners was Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness who embraced Robinson on the steps of the church.

Her husband stated his wife was too ill to attend the Royal wedding to take place 29 April 2011. Robinson did however attend the state banquet in Dublin during the Queen's visit to the Republic of Ireland 20 days later on 18 May 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    To be honest, I knew that there was no difference between dying at their years old and dying at seventy because, naturally, in both cases, other men and women will live on, for thousands of years at that.... It was still I who was dying, whether it was today or twenty years from now.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Mee of these
    Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
    Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
    That name, unless an age too late, or cold
    Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
    Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
    Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
