Gerry Adams has been awarded 100,000 euro (£84,000) in damages after winning his libel action against the BBC at the High Court in Dublin.
The former Sinn Féin leader alleged a BBC Spotlight programme, and an accompanying online story, defamed him by alleging he sanctioned the killing of former Sinn Fein official Denis Donaldson. He denies any involvement.
Reacting outside court Mr Adams said his case was about "putting manners on the British Broadcasting Corporation".
He said the case could have been settled "a long time ago".
