They got approx £400,000 to £500,000. However the Government tried to make them pay some of it back to cover the cost of the food and accommodation they recieved whilst inside.
Board and lodgings in prison is only free if you're guilty. If you're convicted in a miscarriage of justice, then later release, HM Government will try and reclaim the cost of jailing you.

Gerry Conlon's autobiography Proved Innocent was adapted into the Oscar- and Bafta-award nominated 1993 film In the Name of the Father, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Emma Thompson and Pete Postlethwaite. He is reported to have settled with the government for a final payment of compensation in the region of £400,000 to £500,000.

I don't know what they received but no amount of money could ever make up for the ordeal they all went through.
