Liam Adams remanded to appear next month
Liam Adams, a brother of Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, appeared briefly at the High Court in Dublin today and was remanded until next month.
Adams is wanted by the authorities in the North on alleged sex abuse charges. Mr Justice Michael Peart remanded Adams on continuing bail until July 7 next when his case will be mentioned again.
Mr Adams (aged 54) with an address at Bernagh Avenue in Belfast, is wanted in the North to face multiple charges of rape, indecent assault and gross indecency against his daughter, Aine Tyrell, who has waived her right to anonymity.
Liam Adams denies all the charges and is contesting his extradition.
It is claimed the offences occurred at various addresses in Belfast between March 1977 and March 1983 when the alleged victim was aged between four and 10 years. It is alleged some of the offences occurred when Ms Tyrell's mother was out of the family's house.
Mr Adams turned himself into gardaí in Dublin early this year after a European Arrest Warrant was issued by the PSNI.
He has already denied he fled the North a year ago to escape prosecution but claims he feared he and his children were in danger after media reports of the allegations.
Mr Adams also maintains he will not get a fair trial.
