Adams Gives Himself Up
The fugitive brother of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has handed himself over to the authorities in the Irish Republic.
Liam Adams is wanted by police in Northern Ireland over claims he sexually abused his now grown-up daughter from the age of four.
He was arrested in a Dublin police station under a European arrest warrant which was issued on Wednesday.
Adams was due to appear in court in Northern Ireland in November 2008 to face 23 charges relating to the alleged abuse, but he failed to show up.
Speaking after the arrest warrant was issued, a Sinn Fein spokesman said: "It is our view that this should have happened before now."
