Gerry Adams donates to ‘good causes' after BBC pays 100,000 euro damages
They contained an allegation that Mr Adams sanctioned the killing of former Sinn Fein official Denis Donaldson.
Mr Adams denied any involvement.
In May, a jury at the High Court in Dublin found in his favour and awarded him 100,000 euro after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article.
Johnsons Solicitors, which represented Mr Adams in his action, announced on Tuesday that the BBC has discharged the order of the court in relation to the compensation to their client.
A BBC spokesperson said: 'We can confirm the BBC has now paid Gerry Adams 100,000 euros in damages as required by the court.'
Mr Adams said he intended to donate any damages awarded to good causes.
The law firm said donations have been made to 'Unicef for the children of Gaza', local GAA organisations, a support group for republican prisoners and their families called An Cumman Cabhrach, to the Irish language sector, to the 'homeless and Belfast based-youth, mental health and suicide prevention projects' and others.
The BBC, which was found by the jury not to have acted in good faith nor in a fair and reasonable way, was also ordered to pay the former Sinn Fein leader's legal costs, potentially in the order of millions.
However, it is understood the final amount of costs have yet to be determined.

Epping hotel controversy: 13 councils to jump on ruling to remove asylum seekers
A wave of local authorities are vowing to block asylum seekers being housed in hotels after Epping Forest District council won a shock victory in the High Court following weeks of protests Nigel Farage has claimed that all councils controlled by Reform UK will "do everything in their power" to block asylum hotels being set up in their areas after yesterday's controversial Epping ruling. Ministers are bracing for further legal challenges from councils across the country after the Essex local authority won a High Court injunction to evict asylum seekers from the Bell Hotel. The Home Office had warned the judge that an injunction could "interfere" with its legal obligations, while lawyers representing the hotel's owner argued it would set a dangerous "precedent", leaving authorities with few options for providing emergency accommodation for migrants. The shock ruling followed weeks of at-times violent protests outside the hotel, after a man from Afghanistan was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Now, the Reform UK leader has vowed his party would seek to block any hotels being used for asylum processing in the council areas it currently controls - and a Tory council has already pledged to follow Epping Forest council's lead. Which councils are planning to block asylum seekers? The following Tory and Reform councils and mayoral areas have indicated that they are going to take action over asylum seekers staying in local accommodation: Broxbourne Derbyshire Doncaster Durham Greater Lincolnshire (mayoralty) Hull & East Yorkshire (mayoralty) Kent Lancashire Lincolnshire North Northamptonshire Nottinghamshire Staffordshire West Northamptonshire What has Nigel Farage said? In a column for the Telegraph this morning, the Reform UK leader urged people to hold "peaceful protests outside the migrant hotels" and "put pressure on local councils to go to court to try and get the illegal immigrants out". He added: "I can say today that the English local councils controlled by the party I lead, Reform UK, will be doing everything in their power to follow Epping's lead." What will the government do? Number 10 has already announced plans to move asylum seekers from hotels into houses of multiple occupancy into other forms of accommodation by the end of this parliament - but the new ruling is likely to give the Home Office a headache as to what to do in the meantime. Security minister Dan Jarvis told Times Radio today: "We're looking at a range of different contingency options following from a legal ruling that took place yesterday, and we'll look closely at what we're able to do." Epping Forest council had successfully argued that the use of the Bell Hotel for asylum seekers was not a permitted use of the hotel for planning purposes. Asked whether other migrant hotels have the proper planning permission, Mr Jarvis said: "Well, we'll see over the next few days and weeks. Other local authorities will be considering whether they wish to act in the same way that Epping (Forest) District Council have."I think the important point to make is that nobody really thinks that hotels are a sustainable location to accommodate asylum seekers. That's precisely why the Government has made a commitment that, by the end of this Parliament, we would have phased out the use of them."

How many asylum seekers are in UK hotels and why are they being housed there?
The subject of asylum seekers being housed in hotels has come into sharp focus after a High Court ruling. On Tuesday, Epping Forest District Council was granted a temporary injunction blocking asylum seekers from being housed at the Bell Hotel in the Essex town. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the latest overall data. – How many asylum seekers are in hotels across the UK? The most recent Home Office data showed there were 32,345 asylum seekers being housed temporarily in UK hotels at the end of March. This was down 15% from the end of December, when the total was 38,079. New figures – published among the usual quarterly immigration data release – are expected on Thursday, showing numbers in hotels at the end of June. Figures for hotels published by the Home Office date back to December 2022 and showed numbers hit a peak at the end of September 2023 when there were 56,042 asylum seekers in hotels. – How many hotels are in use for asylum seekers? It is thought there were more than 400 asylum hotels open in summer 2023. Labour said this has since been reduced to fewer than 210. – Why are asylum seekers being housed in hotels? Asylum seekers and their families can be housed in temporary accommodation, known as contingency accommodation, if they are awaiting assessment of their claim or have had a claim approved and there is not enough longer-term accommodation available. The Home Office provides accommodation to asylum seekers who have no other way of supporting themselves on a 'no choice' basis, so they cannot choose where they live. When there is not enough housing, the Home Office can move people to accommodation such as hotels and large sites, like former military bases. In May, the National Audit Office said those temporarily living in hotels accounted for 35% of all people in asylum accommodation. – Is this likely to be a permanent arrangement? Labour has pledged to end the 'costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers in this Parliament' – which would be 2029, if not earlier. Campaigners and charities have long argued that hotels are not suitable environments to house asylum seekers. The Refugee Council said they 'cost the taxpayer billions, trap people in limbo and are flashpoints in communities' and urged the Government to 'partner with local councils to provide safe, cost-effective accommodation within communities'. – What is the Government saying since the legal ruling? Ministers are 'looking at a range of different contingency options' following Tuesday's ruling, according to security minister Dan Jarvis In the immediate aftermath of the judgment, border security minister Dame Angela Eagle repeated criticism of the previous Conservative government, saying Labour had 'inherited a broken asylum system'. She said the Government would 'continue working with local authorities and communities to address legitimate concerns' around asylum hotels. – What options does the Home Office have now? Last month, amid protests outside the Bell Hotel and more migrants crossing the Channel, an extra 400 spaces were being prepared to house male asylum seekers at RAF Wethersfield in Essex. The former military site, which has a usual capacity of 800 beds, is expected to house more adult men on a short-term basis. The Labour Government scrapped the large site of the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland, Dorset, earlier this year, while Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent, is also due to end housing asylum seekers and be returned to the Ministry of Defence in September. – Why were there protests outside the Bell Hotel? The hotel in Epping has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl – something he has denied and he is due to stand trial later in August. After the High Court's ruling, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wrote in the Telegraph calling for Epping protests to inspire further action wherever there are concerns about the 'threat posed by young undocumented males' living in hotels. But on Tuesday more than 100 women's organisations wrote to ministers warning that vital conversations about violence against women and girls are being 'hijacked by an anti-migrant agenda' that fuels divisions and harms survivors. The joint statement, including from Rape Crisis England & Wales and Refuge, said: 'We have been alarmed in recent weeks by an increase in unfounded claims made by people in power, and repeated in the media, that hold particular groups as primarily responsible for sexual violence. 'This not only undermines genuine concerns about women's safety, but also reinforces the damaging myth that the greatest risk of gender-based violence comes from strangers.'

Man who attempted to murder newborn baby by shaking him jailed
Flood denied the charge and claimed that the baby may have been injured during a pair of accidental incidents which he accepted responsibility for. A 28-year-old man who tried to murder a new-born baby by shaking him and pinching his face has been jailed for seven years. Stuart Flood, from Elgin, was jailed at the High Court in Dundee after a jury found him guilty of the murder bid which left the child with severe injuries. He was found guilty of attacking the baby at an address in Bucksburn, Aberdeen, over a three-month period starting when the boy was just 14-days-old. Flood denied the charge and claimed that the baby may have been injured during a pair of accidental incidents which he accepted responsibility for. The court was told that the Crown had offered to accept a reduced charge - not involving attempted murder - prior to the start of the trial. However, Flood had rejected the offer and the jury found him guilty of the full charge despite his denial that he had caused the life threatening injuries. He was found guilty of trying to murder the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, by assaulting him on various occasions between 29 April and 23 July 2021. The jury ruled that he had shaken the child and pinched his face, or otherwise inflicted trauma to his head, to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life and did attempt to murder him. Counsel Bert Kerrigan KC, defending, said: "I ask the court to take a realistic view of all of the circumstances of this tragic case. "Hopefully the evidence shows that the child has survived the horrendous situation he was in at the time he was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and subsequently flown to Glasgow. "The situation with regard to the social work report is often a Catch 22 situation. If an accused person has given evidence and stands by that evidence it is inevitable he is regarded as not having empathy and that is echoed in this report. "On the other hand, if he were to engage in some form of detailed confession the comment is that he's told lies and is now giving a different version. "The accused gave evidence and indicated that he accepted responsibility for the two initial incidents. In one sense these incidents have been dismissed as incredible from the point of view of causation - where the evidence is they were not the substantial cause."

The court was told that the child was initially taken to hospital in Aberdeen before being airlifted to Glasgow and given emergency life-saving surgery. Judge Paul Brown said: "You stand convicted of the attempted murder of a completely vulnerable infant. The injuries inflicted were very serious indeed. "Thankfully there has been a good recovery but there will be a lasting impact from your actions. I take into account your age, your lack of previous convictions and your previous good character. "However, there is no appropriate alternative to a substantial custodial sentence, given the grave nature of this crime."
