Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has said his brother should hand himself over to the authorities to answer allegations of sexual abuse.
It is understood that an arrest warrant was issued for Liam Adams a year ago.
It was issued for failing to appear at a preliminary court hearing to answer questions about alleged sexual offences against his daughter Aine Tyrell.
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has revealed that his late father subjected family members to emotional, physical and sexual abuse over many years.
In a statement, Mr Adams said the family made the discovery about Gerry Snr in the 1990s and were still coming to terms with what had happened.
This is all very interesting news for people interested in northern Irish politics.
It seems Gerry Adams knew very well that his brother (Liam) had raped his daughter, Gerry's neice. However, whilst the IRA was executing others who committed similar offences, Gerry kept quiet about the whole thing.
It's certainly very interesting, but the consequences could be very dramatic. I wouldn't be surprised if he's forced to step down as leader of Sinn Fein.
