Show Notes

Gerry Adams has won €100,000 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.

He denies any involvement.

Journalist Amanda Ferguson joins Kieran to discuss.
