Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Irish Prisoners Abroad: Motion
10:00 am
Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The motion is withdrawn. I also spoke to the Taoiseach about the case of Ibrahim Halawa, as I am sure other members, including Deputy Durkan, have done. I know the Minister is very concerned about it and is monitoring the situation very closely with his officials in Cairo. We will revisit this at next week's meeting and we hope there is a positive result at the court hearing next Sunday. We hope that Mr. Halawa will be set free and will come back to this country. A lot of work has been done by both Government and the Parliament in this regard.
