Gerry Adams legal case against BBC due before Dublin court
Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams’s court case against the BBC over allegations about the murder of an MI5 spy is due to begin.
Claims were made in a BBC Northern Ireland Spotlight programme in 2016 over who sanctioned the killing of British spy Denis Donaldson.
Mr Donaldson, 55, was shot dead at a cottage near Glenties in Co Donegal in April 2006 after having been exposed as a British spy while in the IRA.
