Dublin Trial Date Set for Parliament Member

DUBLIN, Ireland — Peter Robinson, a member of the British Parliament from Northern Ireland, was ordered Tuesday to stand trial Jan. 13 on charges of leading 300 Protestants in a cross-border invasion of a Roman Catholic village.

Robinson, deputy leader of the Rev. Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionist Party, was arrested after the Protestants took control of the tiny village of Clontibret on Aug. 7 to demonstrate lax border security between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. They left after police fired shots into the air.
