A pension for those injured in the Troubles - but should paramilitaries be included? Vinny Hurrell sits in for Stephen Nolan.
A pension for those injured in the Troubles - but should paramilitaries be included? Some victims of the IRA have said they will refuse a Troubles pension if ex-paramilitaries also receive one.
This comes as Victims Commissioner Judith Thompson has said those injured carrying out attacks should be able to apply for a pension.
She has advised the government on the issue - but does acknowledge the hurt some families feel and the political sensitivities of this position.
Also on the programme, is the Saturday job for young people becoming a thing of the past?
New research suggests a lot of young people say they don't work
either because they get an allowance from their parents
or they need to focus on their school work
The study by Barclays found that just half of young people in education
currently have a part-time job, compared to previous generations when it was nearly 7 out of 10.
Should all young people be encouraged to get a part time job?
Or do young people need to have time to be young and do fun stuff without the responsibility of work?
