Any Statement yet???

Or are they still keeping quiet!!

The statement was made after 6pm on Radio Ulster.
Briefly, Peter denies any wrongdoing. Says there has been a smear campaign against him by the media. Has asked his officials (Civil Servants) to instruct the Departmental Solicitors Office to brief a QC to examine the Spotlight programme and the allegations within it and provide an opinion as to whether he has done anything improper. He said he will co-operate fully and answer any questions the QC might have for him. He said this would be the quickest way to clear his name. Mark Davenport asked whether he felt the process was sufficiently independent and he bristled and asked whether he was accusing the lawyers working in DSO of something.

Frankly I wasn't surprised by this but I was surprised it took all day to come up with something so weak. I may turn out to be wrong but I think he will have to go in the long run and he could have done so today with dignity but instead will have to be dragged kicking and screaming. Either way NI is the loser...

I think that Peter Robinson should be eating some very humble pie. Essentially he's left his wife out to hang and is pleading ignorance. Well Iris had to learn the corrupt ropes from someone and somewhere. I remember growing up and a public meeting was held by residents in Carryduff who could not believe how much green belt land that Fraser kept getting permission for. In the 1990s....I think we know now.

I think that who ever investigates should ask to see the bank statements of all their accounts and solicitor accounts etc to see how often these little gifts appeared!!! PS If anyone from moneysaving wants to give me a gift I won't tell!!

:cool: Well said thriftyminx. I think the programme last night didn't say too much about the Planning angle as they may not have enough evidence - but I think the whole saga stinks of this and that Peter is in it up to his neck quite frankly.

At least they can still afford for poor Iris to head off to Chamonix to recuperate in a luxury chalet. We wouldn't want to think of her slumming it now would we. :rolleyes:

just saw the interview on the BBC website....thanks GA:D

How can he say though that he has done no wrong? He knew about it 8 days ago......why did he not immediatly (sp again sorry) suspend his wife with no pay? It can be done methinks..........He knew about it before the story broke so he is in the wrong!!

Heard Peter Robinson went to his optician claiming his eyes were watering since March.
Optician says 'I know what's wrong, there's something stuck in your Iris'

Hope you don't mind me asking, but is the topic itself relevant to money-saving?
