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.'

Nicola Sturgeon pledge to eliminate attainment gap between richest and poorest Scots pupils 'in tatters'
The former SNP leader pledged in 2015 "to close the attainment gap completely" but latest exam results show it remains at 17 per cent. A landmark SNP pledge to eliminate the attainment gap between the richest and poorest Scots pupils is "in tatters" following the publication of this year's exam results, opposition parties have warned. Nicola Sturgeon used a keynote speech in 2015 to promise her government would "close the attainment gap completely" over the next decade - a policy ministers formally adopted a year later when John Swinney was serving as education secretary. But Higher and National 5 results out today show the richest 20 per cent of pupils continue to significantly outperform the 20 per cent of kids from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. Pam Duncan-Glancy, Scottish Labour education spokeswoman, said: "Right across our education system staff have gone above and beyond to give kids the education they deserve despite a lack of leadership from this SNP government. While any progress closing the attainment gap should be welcomed, the truth is it remains stubbornly wide. "The SNP has gone from promising to close the attainment gap entirely to congratulating itself for the most incremental progress. From those doing exams to those pursuing a vocation, young people in Scotland deserve a government with more ambition for their future." "After years of stagnation under the SNP, Scottish Labour government will build an education system that unlocks the potential of every child." In the 2016 Programme for Government, Sturgeon claimed her government would push to substantially reduce the attainment gap by 2026, saying it was "a yardstick by which the people of Scotland can measure our success". The new figures show some progress on the previous year in terms of overall attainment and a slight narrowing of the attainment gap. But by most measures the attainment gap is largely unchanged compared to pre-pandemic levels, and the attainment gap in the Higher pass rate has widened since 2019. Jenny Gilruth, the Education Secretary, could not say today whether the target would be met in 2026 with less than a year before pupils are set to sit exams again. Asked by the BBC on the progress being made to closing the attainment gap, she said: "We need to be mindful that this is a generation of course who lived through the Covid pandemic." Pressed on whether the gap would be closed next year, Gilruth added: "I'm here to talk about the exam results, I've spoken to some of the progress, and I'm absolutely committed to our continued work to close the attainment gap, but I am in no way shirking away from the challenge we've seen in terms of the Covid pandemic and austerity in our schools." It comes as the attainment gap for National 5 results dropped from 17.2 per cent to 16.6 per cent this year, while Higher saw a tiny dip from 17.2 per cent to 17.1 per cent. The gap in the number of pupils achieving an A also reduced slightly at all levels, but remained substantially higher than the A-C rate. Duncan-Glancy said: "It is damning that Jenny Gilruth cannot say whether the attainment gap will be closed by next year. This once again proves that any promises made by the SNP are simply not worth the paper they are written on. "In 2015, Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted to be judged on closing the attainment gap, with the SNP promising to 'substantially eliminate' it within a decade. "Almost a decade on and SNP ministers are refusing to own up to Scots that they have repeatedly made promises that they are unable to deliver upon. "Education is a devolved matter and the responsibility of the Scottish Government, and yet Jenny Gilruth instead chooses to make excuses for the SNP's atrocious record. "Scotland's young people are being held back by a failing SNP government, with ministers consistently shirking responsibility for their own failures." Miles Briggs, Scottish Conservatives education spokesman, said: "These results have been achieved against a backdrop of another challenging year in our schools with violence soaring out of control and teachers often feeling like they do not have enough say over the school curriculum. "However, SNP ministers have no room for complacency. Frankly, no amount of spin from them can avoid the fact that Nicola Sturgeon's promises in relation to the attainment gap lie in tatters. "She wanted to eradicate it completely yet still there is a huge gap in the results achieved by those from our most and least deprived communities. And John Swinney was education secretary when the SNP said it would be the defining mission of their government and promised to substantially eliminate it by 2026." In a statement, Gilruth said: "It is encouraging to see that the poverty-related attainment gap has narrowed at National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher levels. "While there is more to do, each success of every young person from the most disadvantaged areas creates a route out of poverty. These results also show the strength of Scotland's vocational and technical qualifications, which play a key role in preparing so many young people for the future."

Jay Blades in court after separate rape charges emerge
West Mercia Police said the 55-year-old is due to appear at Telford Magistrates' Court on August 13 on the rape charges. On Tuesday, Blades, who fronted primetime BBC show The Repair Shop, appeared at Worcester Crown Court via video link for a preliminary hearing in relation to the controlling or coercive behaviour charge.

He faces trial at a later date. In a statement on Tuesday, police also confirmed separate charges of rape. The force said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. 'He is due to appear at Telford Magistrates' Court on 13 August 2025.'
