Thinking on it im probably in agreement with the goverment here... its not nice certainly but better to have some hurt feelings and terrorism finally put to bad than allow hatred to take over once again...

I was thinking maybe some clause could be put in specifying murder'ers familys not be compensated... but then you get into technical deatils like a police officer wrongly killing a suspect and thus murdering them or appropriate force in the line of duty.... the problem i see is that any clauses to deny some people compensation would more likely affect IRA people than the Unionists... and the last thing we need is for one side to feel hard done by... better people on both left a bit angry...
