From Pink News
The Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland has confirmed that it has received a request for prosecutorial advice from police investigating whether a local MP’s homophobic statements broke the law.
Iris Robinson made headlines all over the UK last June when she said “I cannot think of anything more sickening than a child being abused. It is comparable to the act of homosexuality. I think they are all comparable. I feel totally repulsed by both.”
Stonewall voted Iris “Bigot of the year” in their November awards.
Last month a spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland told PinkNews.co.uk that “inquiries are continuing” into whether Iris Robinson’s comments broke the law.
Today the PSNI confirmed that they have sought advice from the Public Prosecution Service, a normal procedure in complex cases.
The decision to consult the PPS does not necessarily mean there will be action taken against Mrs Robinson.
