BBC faces criticism over delay in paying court-ordered damages to Gerry Adams
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 euros (£84,000) after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article.
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.
Adam Smyth, director of BBC NI, expressed disappointment in the verdict and said the corporation believes it supplied extensive evidence to the court of the careful editorial process and journalistic diligence applied to the programme and accompanying online article.
After the decision, the broadcaster's legal team was granted a stay in the payment of the full award as it took time to consider an appeal, subject to paying half the damages (50,000 euros or £42,000) and 250,000 euros (£210,000) towards solicitors' fees.
In June, the BBC confirmed it would not pursue an appeal.
However, it is understood that by August 1 the BBC had not paid the damages.
Mr Adams previously indicated that he planned to donate what he receives to good causes.
He specified that these would include for children in Gaza as well as groups in the Irish language sector and those who are homeless.
A source close to Mr Adams told the PA news agency: 'The delay by the BBC is deplorable and it should move speedily towards discharging the order of the court.'
A BBC spokesperson said: 'Total costs will be finalised and payable in due course.'

Police make renewed appeal on 37th birthday of man missing since 2012
Police make renewed appeal on 37th birthday of man missing since 2012 Kyle Vaughan was 24 when he disappeared from his home in Newbridge Missing Kyle Vaughan (Image: Gwent Police) Police have made a renewed appeal for information about a missing man on what would have been his 37th birthday. Kyle Vaughan was 24 when he disappeared after leaving his home in in Newbridge, Caerphilly, on December 30, 2012. Mystery surrounds his whereabouts after his crashed car was found abandoned on a country road, prompting detectives to launch a murder investigation. Kyle left home that morning but there are still no answers as to what happened to him. His silver Peugeot 306 was in a single-vehicle crash on the day of his disappearance. What followed was one of the biggest police searches Wales has seen with a total of eight people at one point arrested with various alleged offences linked to his disappearance including murder. On what would be Kyle's 37th birthday, Detective chief superintendent Andrew Tuck, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Our ongoing inquiries into what happened to Kyle before his disappearance is one of our most extensive investigations to date. 'Detectives working in our major incident team continue to investigate any information that the public passes onto us in relation to Kyle, both before and after his last-known sighting. 'We remain in regular contact with Kyle's family." Read the biggest stories in Wales first by signing up to our daily newsletter here Kyle Vaughan vanished without trace over 12 years ago He added: 'They have never given up hope of finding out what happened to him and we will follow up any lines of inquiry that emerge to answer those questions that his family still has. 'I'm urging members of the public to contact us with any details they have, no matter how minor it may seem to assist our investigation, please come forward.' Mr Vaughan's mother Mary died in 2018, having had advanced liver cancer for several years, but never knowing what happened to her son. The factory worker, known to his friends as Jabbers, was last seen at his home in Newbridge. Later that same night, his damaged silver Peugeot 306 was found on the A467 between Risca and Crosskeys. It was not clear whether Mr Vaughan had been driving the vehicle but police said they were confident he would have been able to walk away from the collision. Over the years police have searched around 40 areas, interviewed more than 200 people, received more than 180 intelligence logs, and taken nearly 900 witness statements. The missing person inquiry eventually became a murder investigation. Article continues below On October 14, 2016, Kyle was officially presumed legally dead by the High Court and his parents received a presumption of death certificate.

BBC faces criticism over delay in paying court-ordered damages to Gerry Adams
The BBC has been criticised for not yet having paid court-ordered damages to former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams. The corporation lost a major defamation case earlier this year after Mr Adams took them to court over a 2016 episode of its Spotlight programme and an accompanying online story. 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 euros (£84,000) after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article.
