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.'

Zoe Ball ‘frozen and in tears' after yob smashed car window and stole bag while she was on The One Show
ZOE Ball has revealed she had a "massive cry" after a yob smashed her car window and stole her handbag while she was on The One Show. The radio and TV star, 54, was recounting a recent appearance on the prime time BBC show on her Dig It podcast with Jo Whiley. 2 2 After fun catching up with pal Vernon Kay, the good vibes from the studio quickly faded when Zoe returned to her shattered window. She explained: "Someone had smashed the front window of my car, that's never happened to me before." Initially left "frozen" by the upsetting find, Zoe used a festival poncho in the car to cover the damaged window. She then blasted the Radio 2 country show at ear-splitting volume as she carefully drove the 64 miles home to Brighton. Zoe was relieved nothing of value was taken, though she admitted: "I got in and I had a massive cry." "It was good, I love a big blub. The ones where you wake up in the morning and your face is a bit swollen and you're like, 'Well, I'm glad I got that out'." She partly blamed herself for the theft, having left her bag on display. She explained: "Do you know what I did? I did a stupid thing, I was so busy running into The One Show with my suits and my bag and everything. "And we were going to do a picture with our Spotify picture, which was amazing, and I left a bag on the front seat. Big no, no in London, idiot. Luckily, nothing in it except my diary." In solidarity, Jo then shared how she had a phone pinched from her hand in a street mugging. She said: "Just a boy on a bike just literally snatched it from my hand. "And then you having something like this, it's just so disappointing that people would do that to another person."

BBC viewers cringe at Kemi Badenoch's 'fields of wheat' moment
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch opened up about snitching on a fellow student, who was cheating on his exams, while at school in a BBC interview - and viewers have slammed the politician BBC viewers have cringed their way through Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch 's latest BBC interview after the politician made a candid admission about her school days. The 45-year-old sat down with BBC presenter Amol Rajan to speak about her life and career - however, there's one particular anecdote of Badenoch's that left fans baffled throughout the hour-long programme. Speaking about how she despises rule-breaking, Badenoch admitted that when she was "about 14 or 15", she stood up in an exam and accused a boy of cheating. "That boy ended up getting expelled," she said. "I didn't get praised for it. I was a relatively popular kid at school, and people said, 'Why did you do that, why would you do it?' I said, 'Because he was doing the wrong thing.'" It comes after Nigel Farage unveiled an ex-Tory who made racist remark on WhatsApp as its newest defector. BBC viewers quickly took to social media to slam Badenoch's confession, with many labelling it her 'field of wheat' moment - referring to the interview in which Theresa May said in the run-up to the 2017 election that the naughtiest thing she ever did as a child was "run through the fields of wheat". "@KemiBadenoch I think I prefer @theresa_may, running through the fields of what," one viewer wrote. While another said: "It's a mystery why Kemi Badenoch isn't popular with the electorate..." A third viewer said: "Whoever is advising Kemi Badenoch hates her." A fourth added: "Who is advising Kemi Badenoch. No way she is winning PM with the way she has been moving." Elsewhere in the interview, Badenoch revealed that she lost faith in God after Austrian man Josef Fritzl 's horrific crimes came to light. Fritzl kept his daughter imprisoned underneath his home for 24 years. Badenoch said: "I couldn't stop reading this story. And I read her account, how she prayed every day to be rescued. "And I thought, I was praying for all sorts of stupid things and I was getting my prayers answered. I was praying to have good grades, my hair should grow longer, and I would pray for the bus to come on time so I wouldn't miss something." She added: "It's like, why were those prayers answered, and not this woman's prayers? And it was like someone blew out a candle. I rejected God, not Christianity. So I would still define myself as a cultural Christian."

Suspected people smuggler followed by BBC documentary detained in Birmingham
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A young Iranian man has been arrested for allegedly smuggling asylum seekers to the UK in small boats. Officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) said they earlier detained the 22-year-old at an address in Acocks Green in Birmingham on suspicion of conspiring to facilitate illegal immigration. Footage shows a topless man – wearing just jogging shorts – in handcuffs and being read his rights by NCA officers before being taken to custody. NCA Regional head of investigations Jacque Beer said this follows a BBC investigation, adding: 'This arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into organised immigration crime. 'People smugglers operate for profit without concern for the safety of those they transport, which is why dismantling and disrupting the networks is a priority for the NCA. 'Our investigation continues with the evidence we have gathered today.' The NCA currently has 91 ongoing investigations into networks or people in the top tier of organised immigration crime or human trafficking as the government aims to 'smash' people-smuggling gangs. The arrest comes as crossings across the English Channel passed 25,000 at the end of July – faster than any year since the records began in 2018.

Sir Keir Starmer announced the highly-controversial 'one in, one out' returns deal with France, which will see the UK sending asylum seekers back to France in exchange for asylum seekers with links to Britain. The pilot came into force this week, with the first people – who crossed the dangerous waters between the two nations on flimsy inflatables, risking their lives – falling victim to it yesterday. The group of people who arrived in Kent are now being held in immigration removal centres to await their removal.
