Part 1 - Should Troubles victims get extra benefit protection? #bbcnolan

The most generous welfare benefits system in the UK. That's the plan tabled at Stormont. And it will involve half a billion pounds of public money over four years. Under the blueprint, people in N Ireland who lose out from UK-wide benefit cuts will get top-up payments - funded by Stormont. And people injured in the Troubles will have more chance of keeping disability payments, than those with other injuries

So is this is the right use of public money, at a time when front-line services like health and education are under big pressure?

Or maybe you think the plans don't go far enough? The proposed top-up payments will in many cases just last a year. That's a long way from protecting all claimants permanently - the pledge Sinn Fein had made Commentators Jeffrey Peel and Eamonn McCann
