Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Irish Prisoners Abroad: Motion
10:00 am
Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Before I bring in Senator Walsh, I have a suggestion to ensure we go forward together on this. It is based on Deputy Smith's suggestion. We should follow up on the correspondence we received this morning from the Minister on what is happening and also send a copy and a separate letter to the Taoiseach on the committee's concerns about Ibrahim Halawa asking that every effort be made by the Department to ensure his release. That might be a compromise.
