Liam Adams’ whereabouts made known
Liam Adams, the brother of the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, who is accused of allegedly abusing his daughter has made his whereabouts known to authorities.
Liam Adams has presented himself to a garda station in Co Sligo in the past 24 hours where he offered to make himself available.
Gardaí were not in a position to arrest Liam Adams in Sligo yesterday as they did not have a European arrest warrant.
A warrant is now being prepared by the PSNI on the charges that have been made against him.
Gerry Adams last week called on his brother to give himself up to police who wanted to question him about sex abuse allegations against a family member.
Liam Adams, who is in his 50s, has lived in Dundalk and Co Donegal at different stages and gardaí are aware he is being sought by the authorities in Northern Ireland.
The story came to light after the woman at the centre of the abuse allegations, Liam Adams’ daughter, waived her anonymity in order to tell her story.
She is making public allegations that over a period of at least eight years, beginning in the late 1970s, she was abused by her father. She featured in a special UTV programme last week.
She claims she can remember the alleged offences, including rape, from the time she was four.
In November of last year, 30 years after some of the alleged abuses and following a PSNI investigation, Liam Adams was to face 23 court charges – but he went missing.
Over the weekend, Gerry Adams revealed that his own father had abused members of his family.
