Liam Adams, has been sentenced to 16 years in jail for raping his daughter.
The 58 year old younger brother of Gerry Adams was convicted on 10 charges - three of rape, three of gross indecency and four of indecent assault.
Judge Corinne Philpott handed down the sentence, which included a further two years on probation, at Belfast Crown Court this morning.
Dressed in a brown jacket, jeans and blue checked shirt Liam Adams, showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down this morning.
Passing sentence Judge Philpott said the abuse which began when Aine Adams was just 4 years old was the greatest breach of trust imaginable
Aine Adams, who has waived her right to anonymity, told police her mother and uncle Gerry had confronted her father but he denied any wrongdoing.
Aine's mother, Sarah Campbell, told her ex-husband's trial she had first learned of the abuse following a disagreement with her daughter shortly before Christmas, 1986.
When Aine made the allegations public in a 2009 television documentary, Liam Adams fled to the Republic, claiming he would not get a fair trial.
Liam Adams later handed himself in at a police station in County Sligo but could not be detained because officers did not have the correct documentation.
He was eventually handed over to the PSNI after a lengthy and expensive extradition battle.
