The group established to advise on the legacy of the Troubles is expected to recommend that a once-off payment be made to the families of all those killed during the conflict.
While the report from the Consultative Group on the Past is not due to be published until next week, some details are beginning to emerge.
Its most controversial aspect is a proposal that the families of every person killed during the Troubles be given a once-off payment of £12,000 (€12,700).
DUP MLA Jeffrey Donaldson has said he is very concerned about the facts emerging from the media regarding the findings of the report.
Mr Donaldson said that if a person belonged to a terrorist organisation, they were not innocent victims.
He said that people who had lost family members during the Troubles would feel anger, as well as betrayal, if the recommendations were to be implemented.
Almost 4,000 people died during the conflict and the payment scheme is expected to cost around £40m (€42m).
In addition, the group has recommended the establishment of a Legacy Commission to investigate murders during the Troubles. It would have a limited life span of five years, after which no more public inquiries would be held.
The proposals, if implemented, would cost the British Exchequer around £200m (€212m).
