Could I suggest that in principle we agree to send a delegation? We will get feedback next week from the Egyptian authorities as to whether members will be allowed to attend the trial and to visit Ibrahim. I agree with Deputy O'Sullivan that it is important that members of the committee meet him and that the foreign affairs committee agree in principle to send a delegation on the understanding that it will have access to the court and to Ibrahim in jail.
