Adams speaks on family sex abuse
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has spoken out for the first time about the sex abuse allegations which have divided his family for more than 20 years.
Mr Adams’ niece has accused her father, Mr Adams’ brother, of sexually abusing her from the age of four.
Speaking exclusively to UTV’s Insight Special, Aine Tyrell claimed that Gerry Adams had known about the abuse for 20 years.
She has also talked about her need to go public with her story, and explained disillusionment and frustration at how she feels let down by the police, social services, the church and her uncle Gerry.
Liam Adams, who is in his fifties, is wanted by police in connection with the allegations.
