Eames and Bradley need to apologize to Northern Ireland victims for their ignorant, stupid suggestion that terrorist relatives should be paid £12000 to help them get over their "hurt" during 30 years of killing, maiming and destruction of property. These two "men" and their support committee are in need of psychiatric investigation. The fact is that most of the terrorists' relatives supported their horrific activities. I fail to understand how victims who lost loved ones, others who lost limbs and others who lost their mind, etc, etc are expected to understand and accept this depraved recommendation.Should the terrorists who planted the 300lb Car Bomb in the Co. Down village of Castlewellen this week-end be hunted down and rewarded with £12,000 each? The Omagh bomb weighed 500lb so the current one at 300lb could have caused numerous deaths, maiming and destruction.Words now fail me.

Re: Compensation for victims & no 'hierarchy' of victims... All very commendable ... a gesture to ALL families who suffered a loss ... but what about those victims who didn't die? Who still carry the physical & mental pain & scars of the troubles around with them today. Don't they matter?????

I Welcome the proposals to financially support those who lost loved ones in the troubles as was reported on tonights show,but I cant understand why every family in Northern Ireland cant receive £12000 support as we were all victims of the conflict

The families of the Lynah Gang recieved £10,000 cmpensation for the killing of their relatives...So why didnt the Unionists kick up about that?

Why has money entered in to this situation? It has absolutely nothing to do with healing the past and as we all know will not bring back loved ones. I am suprised that these two eminent men lack the wisdom to see this.

Disgusting that victims are treated the same as the murderers.

The money would help genuine victims but the terrorists who contributed to our troubles should get nothing. Don,t reward murderers.
