A Northern Ireland MP has again landed in hot water for deriding homosexuality, this time on a BBC radio program.


A complaint has been made to police about comments made by a Northern Ireland DUP MP about gay people.

Iris Robinson, the chair of the Stormont health committee,called homosexuality an "abomination" and urged gay people to seekcounselling.

John O'Doherty, a member of the South Belfast District Policing Partnership, said he has complained to police.

"People like Mrs Robinson need to learn that their comments have consequences," he said.

This is the second complaint in relation to the Strangford MP's remarks.
