Adams reiterates call for brother to surrender

SINN FÉIN president Gerry Adams has rejected claims he did not do enough to inform authorities north and south that his brother, Liam, was suspected of sexually abusing a child.

Liam Adams is facing 29 charges of allegedly sexually abusing his daughter, Áine, when she was a child, more than 20 years ago.

Gerry Adams confirmed yesterday that he and other members of the family were made aware of the claims in the mid-1980s.
