The brother of Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has been extradited to Northern Ireland.

Liam Adams was handed over by gardai (Irish police) to PSNI officers on Wednesday evening.

The 56-year-old was then arrested on 18 warrants, including charges of rape, gross indecency and indecent assault.

They relate to the alleged abuse of his daughter Aine Tyrrell. He is expected to appear in court on Thursday.

Mr Adams denies abusing Ms Tyrell, who has waived her right to anonymity.

The allegations were first reported when Ms Tyrell took part in a television documentary in 2009.

Mr Adams handed himself in to police in Dublin last year after a European Arrest Warrant was issued by the PSNI.

Last month he was refused permission to appeal his extradition from the Republic, where he had been living.
