Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams wins €100,000 libel damages from BBC | BBC News
Gerry Adams, the former leader of Sinn Féin, has won his libel case against the BBC and been awarded €100,000 in damages by a court in Dublin.
Mr Adams sued the BBC over a 2016 programme and online report, in which an anonymous source alleged that he had sanctioned the murder of a British agent, Denis Donaldson. Mr Adams described the claim as “a grievous smear”.
The BBC had argued that the words were couched as allegations but Adams argued they were presented as fact.
Speaking outside court, Adams says the case could have been resolved a long time ago, adding he was “very mindful of the Donaldson family” throughout the trial.
The BBC said it was disappointed with the jury’s decision with its Northern Ireland director saying: “it was important that we defend our journalism and we stand by that decision”.
Gerry Adams was the president of Irish republican party Sinn Féin from 1983 until 2018. He has consistently denied being a member of the IRA.

Flights across the UK have been disrupted by a “technical issue” with air traffic control.
Nats, which runs air traffic control, said it had “nothing to do” with a software defect that led to the cancellation of 2,000 flights earlier this month.

Around 200 flights were cancelled or did not fly today, analytics firm Cirium said.
