The men appointed by the British Government to recommend ways of addressing the legacy of the Troubles in the North are due to appear before an Oireachtas committee in Dublin today.

Robin Eames, the former Anglican Primate of all Ireland, and Denis Bradley, former vice-chair of the Policing Board, presented their report amid a storm of controversy earlier this year.

Victims groups have expressed outrage that they are recommending a £12,000 recognition payment to all families bereaved during the Troubles, including the relatives of paramilitaries.

The British Government has already rejected the proposal.

The contentious payment has overshadowed the remainder of the more than 30 recommendations made in the Eames-Bradley report.

The two men will be questioned about these recommendations when they appear today before the Oireachtas committee dealing with the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
