Gerry Adams v The BBC

Tara Mills and Declan Harvey chat to Julian O’Neill, who has been covering the Gerry Adams v The BBC libel case

After four weeks of evidence in Dublin, the jury in Gerry Adams' libel case against the BBC is expected to be sent out to consider its findings soon.

He is suing over a 2016 Spotlight programme and online report in which an anonymous source alleged the former Sinn Féin leader sanctioned the murder of a British agent, Denis Donaldson.

Mr Adams, 76, denies the claim.
