The full details of Northern Ireland's four new victims' commissioners are due to be revealed at Stormont. Details of Northern Ireland's victims' commissioners have been announced.
The Office of the First and Deputy First Minister will also indicate if all four will receive the full advertised salary of £65,000. Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness told the assembly that all four posts were full-time and would receive the full advertised salary of £65,000.
The four include broadcaster Mike Nesbitt and ex-interim victims' commissioner Bertha McDougall. Mr McGuinness said he and First Minister Ian Paisley took legal advice before deciding to appoint four commissioners rather than one.
He also said reports that the pair could not agree on one candidate "could not be further from the truth".
"We never, at any stage of our deliberations, had a situation where the first minister proposed someone and I proposed someone as an alternative," Mr McGuinness said.
"We were never in a position of disagreement as to how to bring this matter forward."
