Gerry Adams v BBC libel trial: Jury in Dublin reconvenes to reach verdict

Gerry Adams has won €100,000 (£84,000) in damages over a BBC story about the murder of a British agent.

The former Sinn Féin leader alleged he was defamed in a BBC NI Spotlight programme broadcast in 2016 and an accompanying online article, in which an anonymous contributor alleged he sanctioned the 2006 murder of Denis Donaldson.

Mr Adams, 76, denies any involvement.

The 11-person jury came to its findings after six hours and 49 minutes of deliberations at Dublin’s High Court.
