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.

Closing hotels won't stop the migrant crisis
After yesterday's landmark decision on the Bell Hotel in Epping, the next question must be: where do we go from here? What is essential to understand is that yesterday's High Court judgement was what might be called an 'Al Capone reckoning'. One ultimate actor, the state, and by extension the government, has been humbled on a mere technicality. The Essex hotel was deemed in breach of contract for using its rooms to accommodate refugees, rather than paying guests. The state was not brought to heel on its ethically unsound and socially corrosive laws on immigration and re-settlement. That the Home Office sought to block Epping Forest council's application for an injunction is important. Campaigners and the public will still face an elite establishment – especially, despite yesterday's judgement, a judiciary – that has an intransigent and indulgent attitude to migrants, and a slavish, literal-minded adherence to human rights laws. The fundamentals of the migrant crisis, then, have not been resolved by the closure of the Bell Hotel. They will not be resolved by the closure of other hotels, either. Illegal migrants will still come to Britain, and they will still be housed. This crisis will end in the same way it was always going to: with changes in policy and attitudes. We have already witnessed the effectiveness of one stern response. That was the Rwanda scheme. Although the plan for its establishment was fraught with difficulties, when it did briefly come into law last April many illegal immigrants responded by taking flight to the Republic of Ireland, as complaints by the Dublin government at the time attested. This principle of deterrence must be re-visited. Keir Starmer's plan to 'smash the gangs' has not worked. A government that really wanted to stop illegal migration would consider more stringent measures, such as automatic deportation of illegal immigrants or those with criminal convictions languishing in our prisons. These policies would prove popular, but Starmer isn't going to enact them. One might imagine that only a Reform government would. The ultimate 'uncompassionate' policy is the unsayable one: stop picking up migrants from their boats in the first place. Return them to France, with or without the French government's cooperation. This would most likely contravene maritime law and cause legal challenges and a diplomatic fallout with our neighbours. Lurking behind so many of these preventative measures are not legal or political obstacles, but rather intangible ones, those which can't be revoked or reversed by diktat, legislation, court ruling or vote. In order for matters to change for good, attitudes need to change and lazy assumptions need to be dismantled. The first is the one parroted by those with no imagination, no will or just no wish: this is that there is 'no solution' to this fundamentally global problem. There is, as outlined above. It just takes determination and the willingness to risk the opprobrium of bien-pensants. Passive and defeatist mantras should have no place anywhere in political discourse. The second is to confront the idle axiom that British people today increasingly hate foreigners. This is mostly untrue. Rather, many are angry at the increasing number of immigrants and their decreasing quality. If there is ire directed against one group of people, it is the liberal elite and those who have favoured cheap labour in their factories and homes. It is imperative that the thought-terminating accusation of 'xenophobia' is ignored or rebutted. A third shibboleth contains other weedy platitudes: that migrants who force their way onto our shores are 'fleeing persecution' and 'are only seeking a better life'. That first bromide is refutable. Those who come by boat are arriving from France, a democracy where no-one is persecuted by the state for their beliefs or ethnicity. The second statement represents a worrying detachment from reality. Of course illegal immigrants are seeking a better life. We all want a better life. The ultimate mindset which demands the most patience and perseverance in overturning is the embedded belief and unspoken truism that 'compassion' is inherently good. Sometimes it manifestly isn't. Sometimes, voicing compassionate sentiment only improves the feeling of well-being among those who voice it. Immigration policies based on compassion have so far only served to increase feelings of resentment and anger among the native population. Yesterday's judgement about the Bell Hotel matters, but real change will only come when we upend the conceit that compassionate beliefs or saying nice things necessarily correlate with or result in positive outcomes. Only an unfashionable attitude and 'uncaring' policies will solve the migrant crisis.

Hundreds greet Kneecap rapper as he arrives at court on terror charge
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. Demonstrations in support of the rapper were organised outside Westminster Magistrates' Court in London where he arrived on Wednesday, as well as in Dublin. The Metropolitan Police has imposed conditions limiting where the demonstration outside the court can take place, saying they are needed to 'prevent serious disruption'. O hAnnaidh, who arrived at court alongside fellow bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, was swamped by photographers outside, with security officers taking more than a minute to usher him into the court building. Mr O Caireallain and Mr O Dochartaigh sat at the back of the courtroom with three others as O hAnnaidh confirmed his name, date of birth and address to the court at the start of the hearing. O hAnnaidh's defence team are seeking to throw the case out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. Brenda Campbell KC told the court the Attorney General had not given permission for the case to be brought against the defendant when police informed him he was to face a terror charge on May 21. Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said permission was not required until the defendant's first court appearance. Hundreds of supporters greeted the Kneecap rapper with cheers as he made his way from a silver people-carrier to the building. Fans held signs which read 'Free Mo Chara' while others waved Palestine and Irish flags before the rapper's arrival at court. Chants of 'free, free, Mo Chara' could also be heard over a megaphone, which was repeated by the crowd. In response to the Met imposing conditions on the protest, Kneecap described this move as a 'calculated political decision' that was 'designed to try and portray support for Kneecap as somehow troublesome', and 'asked supporters to go out of your way to be compliant with all instructions issued, irrespective of how pitiful'. O hAnnaidh received a rockstar welcome when he appeared at the same court in June, supported by Mr O Caireallain and Mr O Dochartaigh. He was greeted by a festival-like atmosphere for his first court appearance, with dozens of fans waving flags, playing drums and one supporter setting off a smoke canister. The court previously heard the 27-year-old defendant is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on the Israel-Palestine conflict, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, was a 'wholly different thing'.

Disgraced Huw Edwards spotted with new beard & carrying bottles of Prosecco on birthday – year on from paedo conviction
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DISGRACED Huw Edwards is seen clutching three bottles of Prosecco - days after The Sun told how he had refused to repay the £200,000 he earned from the BBC after his child abuse images arrest. Shamed Edwards broke cover as he went for a lonesome stroll on his birthday. 7 Huw Edwards was snapped in Swansea after buying three bottles of Prosecco Credit: Splash 7 The ex-newsreader was spotted out and about on his 64th birthday Credit: Splash 7 He was clutching the bottles, as well as a cap, car keys and receipt Credit: Splash 7 Edwards at a parking machine near his car Credit: Splash The paedophile - sporting new grey facial hair and glasses - looked grim-faced as he was spotted on Monday, the day he turned 64. Our exclusive pictures show the ex-BBC presenter holding his car keys, a parking receipt, a blue cap and three bottles of Tesco finest Prosecco Brut - £3.35 each at the supermarket - as he returned to his car. The fallen star, whose wife Vicky has filed for divorce, was wearing a wedding ring when he was seen in his native South Wales. It is the first time former News at Ten host Edwards has been seen since we revealed pictures of him spluttering on a vape in February. And it comes as the Beeb confirmed it had failed to claw back the salary Edwards earned between his November 2023 arrest and his resignation five months later. 'A shadow of his former self' An onlooker said: "Edwards looked very different, with glasses very grey hair and a beard and moustache. "He was dressed smartly but also looked like he had put on a bit of weight. "And he looked a shadow of his former cocky and super-confident self. "Edwards struck a very odd figure - and it was quite a peculiar sight seeing him heading back to his car with the mini-Prosecco bottles. It made me wonder who they were for, or if they were a gift to him. "Whatever the situation, Edwards looked a bit tragic - which he is. BBC failed to tackle 'unacceptable' stars' behaviour - as Huw Edwards victim's family called report 'too little too late' "He was quite near Swansea train station and looked like he could have been to see any remaining friends he has before heading off in his car. "There are a few nice places nearby including a hotel he could have come from. "Although he looked different he was very recognisable. "But considering who he is he looked pretty relaxed and was strolling about freely - not trying to hide his identity. "No-one bothered him though and he seemed comfortable being out and about. "He just looked like a middle-aged man going about his business, but it does make you sick when you consider what he's done." BBC failed to claw back salary Our pictures come after we told on Monday how BBC were furious that bosses had failed to claw back any of the £200,000 Edwards' post-arrest salary. The BBC said - after a Sun Freedom of Information probe: "Huw Edwards has not returned any money paid to him by the BBC after his arrest, in respect of any of his work. "The BBC has asked for all the money paid to Huw Edwards by the BBC for the period November 2023 (arrest) and April 2024 (resignation) to be returned." Edwards - once the BBC's star news anchor who fronted coverage of elections and state events including the Queen's funeral - was allowed to step down on medical grounds. The shamed star - spared jail by Westminster Magistrates last September over child abuse images - was last pictured wearing a quilted jacket and puffing on a vape in Wales. Those pictures came as The Sun revealed the BBC was struggling to recoup money from their former star man. The ex-newsreader - paid £475,000 per year by the BBC - was arrested in November 2023 over the most serious category of child abuse images shared in a Whats App chat. But he was not sacked by the Beeb although some senior staff knew he had been nicked. Paedo's pattern of behaviour By Scarlet Howes NIGHT after night he sternly delivered the most important news to the nation, with his authoritative style winning countless awards. But away from his famous desk, as we have discovered, Huw Edwards was a manipulative paedophile who used the same pattern of behaviour time and time again to feed his relentless desires. Edwards appeared in court last summer to learn his fate, his once glittering career in ruins. Our exclusive that he paid a youngster thousands of pounds for sexual pictures made headlines around the globe and set into motion a series of events which plunged the BBC into crisis. And Edwards - at the time the BBC's highest earning newsreader - never again appeared on our screens. The court heard Edwards paid a younger convicted paedophile £1,500 for child sex images and videos of children which he described as "amazing". The case centred on messages between sex offender Alex Williams, who was a teen when they struck up a relationship, and 63-year-old Edwards. We must be clear, the facts of that case are unrelated to our original story. But there are some alarming similarities in his exchanges with both young people - and a pattern of deeply disturbing behaviour. He made contact with both on social media, messaged them on WhatsApp, harassed them for pictures, and then gave them money. There were kisses involved and Christmas presents given. Chillingly, he even bought both of them, who are decades younger, a pair of trainers. And all in exchange for sexual pictures. Cash was used as leverage to the men, one homeless, the other a student, who could only dream of earning his top salary. What The Sun uncovered was a pattern of behaviour and had we not done so Edwards' could well have remained undetected. Welshman Edwards – who had been revealed as paying a young man £35,000 for sex pictures after a separate Sun investigation – was instead allowed to step down from the BBC on "medical grounds" in April 2024. We then revealed last July he had been charged with making indecent images. Edwards was charged with three counts of making indecent images of children between December 2020 and April 2022. The charges were not made public until they were revealed by The Sun. He admitted the three counts in July – and then avoided jail when he was sentenced last September. The court heard he paid money to young paedophile Alex Williams for obscene material. He described a batch of depraved paedophile videos as 'amazing' – and replied 'go on' when offered pictures and videos of a boy later estimated to be aged between seven and nine. Seven of the 41 images sent by Williams were of the worst Category A level. But Edwards was handed a suspended six-month jail sentence and ordered to undergo a sex treatment programme and rehabilitation sessions. He was also placed on the sex offenders register. The Sun has campaigned for paedophiles who hoard serious child abuse images to face automatic jail. Edwards, who has separated from producer wife Vicky – mum of his five children – has been spending time in his native Wales where he has family including his elderly mother. 7 Edwards' mugshot was released after his sentencing last July Credit: PA 7 Edwards was sentenced to six months in prison suspended Credit: PA
