Could the growing crisis over republican "On The Runs" bring down Stormont?

A First Minister on the brink. Yesterday Peter Robinson said he was incandescent with rage and threatened to quit as First Minister.

He's now set a Friday deadline for the Government to respond to his demands. And Arlene Foster made it crystal clear last night, he'll resign if those letters aren't withdrawn

Mr Robinson wants a judicial inquiry and for the Government letters to On the Runs, which are being called "get out of jail free cards", to be rescinded.

Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly says Peter Robinson has “painted himself into a corner.”
