DUP leader Peter Robinson discharged from hospital

Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader has been discharged from hospital.

Peter Robinson, 66, was admitted to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital on Saturday as a "precautionary measure" after reacting to medication.

A DUP spokesman said he would be fit enough to attend crucial talks to resolve the political crisis engulfing the powersharing political institutions at Stormont today.

He said: "Mr Robinson expresses his gratitude to the medical staff who treated him so professionally during his short stay in hospital and the ambulance staff who were the first responders."
