Abuse accused brother of Adams worked for SF after expulsion

The suspected child abusing brother of Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams worked for the party in Belfast after being forced out of a branch in the Republic over the allegations, Sinn Féin admitted today.

The local organisation in staunchly republican west Belfast was unaware of claims against Liam Adams even though his party president brother says he earlier moved to have him thrown out of the party over child protection fears.
