  1. The UK subs are going to go into meltdown

  2. Vindicated his reputation, perhaps in this matter.

    But not for all the other God awful things he was involved in with IRA.

    I say this also acknowledging his importance in peace process and don’t mean to diminish that.

  3. This is so fucking hilarious and ironic given that he has been lying for longer and more blatantly than Trump about a related matter

  4. That’s the “murderer/knows where the bodies are buried” thing sorted. Now all he has to do is to do is shake off the whole “brother sexually abusing his own daughter” thing and the Adams family name will be restored to its former glory!!

  5. He’s getting far more than €100k. He’s entitled to recover his legal costs from the BBC which will likely be several times more than he was awarded in damages.

    There should be questions to answer from the BBC over this colossal waste of licence payer money. Easily over a million spent between both side’s legal costs and damages on an unwinnable case

  6. Well well, that is a classy move by him. To win this after all those years of rumour.

  7. Very funny all the same. You could see this result coming from a mile away. A waste of taxpayers money by the BBC.

  8. Well done to Gerry! A wonderful man and it’s time the media stop portraying him in a negative light

  9. How much! This is a joke, is he going to pay it to the families he destroyed on both sides!

  10. He’ll be able to buy all the teddy bears and rubber ducks he wants with that.

  11. Presidential run for Gerry?

    He’ll be able to hold up a bit of paper “Officially not in the IRA. Not my words Miriam, the words of the UK High Court!”

  12. “his natural voice is actually very seductive”

  13. There was the Teflon Don and then there is our Gerry.

  14. Good Man Gerry!!!

    And a massive FUCK YOU to that absolutely horrible cunt Michael McDowell too!!

  15. Good man Gerry, SF went to shit once he was no longer the leader, embracing woke bullshit he had better principles than that, hope he gets to enjoy his retirement.

  16. It’s only right

    He’s likely done plenty of rogue things, without making up stuff he didn’t do either

    I still think the Sunday world should apologise to that man’s family,for essentially exposing where he was hiding out on national media…..it’s was horrendously irresponsible journalism,given the risks involved to him

  17. Seems reasonable. Just doesn’t make sense that he would have been involved at this level in 2006. On a sidenote – the man doesn’t seem to have aged in 30 years.

  18. Funny that our former attorney general was senior council for the BBC in this case. 

  19. Huh, I heard that it was going differently, ah well.

  20. I knew they should have called Malachi O’Doherty as a witness…!
