Gerry Adams won a court case against the BBC and got €100,000 because they wrongly said he allowed a murder.

The court case took four weeks. The jury said the BBC was not fair and did not prove their claims about Adams and Northern Ireland's peace process.
Adams said the BBC's claims hurt his name and should not have been included. The BBC said they acted in good faith and were disappointed by the decision.
The trial had many witnesses and was costly. The judge asked the jury to decide if the BBC's words meant Adams allowed the murder or was just an allegation.
Adams was in the Dáil when the show aired. He left as Sinn Féin leader in 2018. The BBC said the show was important and they stood by their work.
