Dressed in a grey hooded top as he entered the dock at Belfast Magistrates’ Court, Adams spoke only to confirm he was aware of the alleged offence.

Asked if he understood the charge, he replied: “Yes.”

No further details of the case were disclosed.

A prosecution lawyer asked for a six-week adjournment to allow efforts to prepare for a possible preliminary enquiry hearing at a future date.

Adams was released on continuing bail to return to court on July 5. ends
