In a joint statement the corporation and Ms Traynor said the dispute had ended without any admission of liability on either side.

The statement says that Ms Traynor acknowledged the BBC and its Northern Ireland director continue to "refute strongly" all allegations made against them.

Both sides said they were "pleased the matter had been brought to a conclusion".

She has thanked those who sent her supportive messages while she was taking action against her ex-employer.

The discrimination case was resolved without any admission of liability on either side, it was announced on Friday.

Ms Traynor tweeted: "My employment tribunal case is now settled and over.

"Many thanks to everyone who has sent me supportive messages in recent times. Wishing you well. Donna."
