Liam Adams refused leave to appeal extradition

Liam Adams has lost his legal bid to appeal his extradition from the Republic to NI to answer charges of sexually abusing his daughter.

Liam AdamsLiam Adams, the brother of Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, has lost his legal bid to appeal his extradition from the Republic to Northern Ireland to answer charges of sexually abusing his daughter.

Mr Justice John Edwards ruled the defendant could not appeal the order to the Supreme Court as his barrister’s arguments had not been points of law or exceptional public importance.

“The court arrived at the decision, it is disposed not to certify any of the points raised as points of law or exceptional public importance,” the judge added.

He remanded Liam Adams in custody for 15 days, when the extradition order will take effect and he will be handed over to the PSNI.

Mr Adams hugged his other daughter, Claire Smith, as he was led away by prison officers.

The 56-year-old denies the abuse allegations made by Aine Tyrell, who has waived her right to anonymity.
