Arrest warrant for Adams is delayed
A senior PSNI officer has said that an arrest warrant for Liam Adams has been sent to the Department of Justice in Dublin.
The brother of the Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams is wanted on suspicion of abusing his daughter Aine Tyrell in Belfast in the 70s and 80s.
However, Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris said the Department of Justice had a number of queries about the arrest warrant, which were being considered by the PSNI.
Mr Harris was speaking at a meeting of the Policing Board in Belfast.
The queries will have to be addressed before the warrant can be issued to the gardaí so they can arrest Liam Adams.
