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.
