Iris Robinson apparently raised the money for her lover Kirk McCambley, who invested it in a cafe outside Belfast.

The BBC's Spotlight programme also said that Iris Robinson asked McCambley for £5,000 of the loan from the late John Fraser and Ken Campbell, two locally based property developers, for herself.

Much of the evidence on the programme against the Robinsons was provided by Selwyn Black, Iris Robinson's former adviser, a former Royal Air Force chaplain. He said that while he felt sorry for the family they had betrayed the electorate.

"I feel that they have betrayed my trust ... my position was abused, my trust was abused. Their trust in the people who elected them in a collective sense was being abused.
