Video interview with Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland, by Tracey Magee for UTV Live Tonight on 9 September 2013. On 18 April planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of part of the former Maze/Long Kesh prison site into a peace building and conflict resolution centre and was supported by both the DUP and Sinn Féin. Other members of the unionist community, however, protested against the decision. On 14 August Peter Robinson withdrew the DUP’s support for the conflict resolution centre at the former Maze/Long Kesh site. In this interview Robinson discusses the reasons for the DUP’s decision ahead of a meeting with Martin McGuinness at a trade event in New York. Live Tonight is a politics and current affairs programme on UTV.
