Victims' group South East Fermanagh Foundation (SEEF) met with Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers this morning to discuss the lack of agreement on a way forward on Northern Ireland's past.

The group will state that politicians have “failed them” and have treated them as “second and third class victims.”

The Stormont House Agreement pledged £150 million over a five-year period to fund new legacy structures and arrangements to deal with the past.

Director of Services at SEEF, Kenny Donaldson said: "Innocent victims of terrorism can do maths better than many politicians and the reality is this: the Government has committed £150 million over a five year period to dealing with 'the past.' £35 million is the figure suggested for the 'Stakeknife' inquiry, Loughgall is expected to run to something in the region of £13.5 million and each Article 2 case in the Coroner's queue is expected to cost an average £1.5million. When these figures are added together, there isn't much left out of the original £150 million allocation.”

He said that SEFF "directly challenged the Secretary of State to explain where innocent victims and survivors of republican and loyalist terrorism feature in the Government's resource allocation.”

He said that victims in border areas have been failed by the UK Government and the Criminal Justice System, which he believes “has not delivered justice, truth and accountability.”

Amongst issues discussed with the Secretary of State were the group's concerns around the resourcing of the past, the operational workings of the Historical Investigations Unit and disclosure, the Independent Commission on Information Retrieval and its' safety for victims and the potential risks for future criminal proceedings, the Coronial Inquest system and the disparity in support services provided to innocent victims and survivors of terrorism based in GB and ROI.
