From 1684 Robinson shared the post of Surveyor General with William Molyneaux, until his resignation in 1700, when he was replaced by Thomas de Burgh (designer of the Royal Barracks in Dublin - now Collins Barracks). Robinson was knighted and admitted to the Privy Council of Ireland, but later implicated in corruption and a financial scandal in the early 18th century. He was imprisoned for a time, before leaving Ireland in 1709. He died in England in 1712.
