**A brother of Gerry Adams, who is wanted in connection with allegations he abused his daughter, has turned himself into Irish police. **Liam Adams went into a police station in Sligo on Monday afternoon.
It is understood detectives there could not detain him because they did not have the necessary European arrest warrant.
Mr Adams left the station after giving police his name and address and saying that he was willing to be questioned.
Liam Adams’ daughter, Aine Tyrell, has waived her right to anonymity to allege that he sexually abused her when she was a young child.
The PSNI has confirmed that it has issued a warrant for his arrest but it only covers Northern Ireland.
It is understood officers are working to prepare the necessary European arrest warrant but that it may take some time.
Earlier this week, Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams appealed to his brother to come forward.
In the same interview, Mr Adams also revealed that his father, a veteran republican, had been responsible for acts of physical and sexual abuse against his own children.
