Gerry Adams has donated his €100,000 defamation award to various causes, including Unicef, the GAA, and an organisation supporting the families of IRA volunteers who lost their lives during the troubles.
The move was disclosed today by his solicitors, almost three months after a High Court jury in Dublin found the former Sinn Féin leader had been defamed by a 2016 BBC programme and a BBC website article containing allegations he sanctioned the murder of ex-party official Denis Donaldson.
