Gerry Adams won €100,000 from the BBC for an unfair story about him. He said it was to teach the BBC a lesson.

The trial took four weeks. The jury decided in seven hours that the BBC was wrong. Mr Adams was happy with the result.
Mr Adams led Sinn Féin, helped peace talks, and said he wasn't in the IRA. The BBC was sad but wanted to protect their work.
The case cost a lot, maybe €5 million. Jury trials can cost more. Ireland might change laws to not use juries in these cases.
