The age of consent in Northern Ireland is 16, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender, as specified by the Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008. The reason the age of consent was lowered to 16 in 2008 with the Order was to bring it in line with the rest of the UK. From here
New revelations: Iris lover feigned illness to end affair YOUNG businessman Kirk McCambley had to feign serious illness to end his affair with MP Iris Robinson after she bombarded him with emails, texts and love letters. Mr McCambley told Mrs Robinson that he had a form of cancer that threatened his life and affected his sexual performance, the Irish Independent has learned. This emerged as the North's main parties begin trying to salvage the fragile power-sharing government after First Minister Peter Robinson temporarily stepped down from the post yesterday. Stormont was plunged into crisis after Mr Robinson announced he was relinquishing control for six weeks in an attempt to clear his name from the sex and financial scandal engulfing his wife. But it is unclear whether he will return to office following a break or whether he is being eased out in stages. In a day of drama, his Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) stunned Stormont with the shock decision to install Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster in the top job. Mrs Robinson is continuing to receive acute psychiatric treatment in Belfast. It emerged last night that her former boyfriend, Mr McCambley, who had a teenage girlfriend while he was involved with Mrs Robinson, panicked when his lover 40 years his senior wanted constant attention. Mrs Robinson harassed her then-teenage lover with texts, phone calls, emails and love letters, according to a source. Mr McCambley broke off his relationship with Mrs Robinson by telling her that he had testicular cancer, the source added. After their relationship finished Mrs Robinson turned hostile to her former lover and put him under enormous pressure to return money she had procured for him. More here

Homophobic Iris Robinson resigns from parliament Northern Ireland MP Iris Robinson resigned from Westminster yesterday after it was revealed last week that she had solicited loans for her 19-year-old lover. Robinson was expected to stay on as MP for Strangford until May, but a statement from the Treasury confirmed she had left. It read: "The chancellor of the exchequer has this day appointed Iris Robinson to be Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern." MPs are not allowed to resign, so instead they are appointed to an office of the Crown, which the Three Hundreds of Chiltern are reserved for. Robinson was expelled from the Democratic Unionist Party last week and has also stood down as an Assembly member. More here Thats it then and she gets no "golden handshake" either.
Yes, ignomy, shame and ruin for Iris. Oh well. I'm sure she can always go and live in her place in Florida.
Rummor has it, something happened there as well Something about being taken back or being sold or something
