That makes sense. There is no point in going out if the delegation will not see him or go to the court case. It is chaotic there because there are up to 400 people being tried at the same time and all their families are there so the delegation probably will not get in. Even the officials from Cairo find it hard at times to get into the court case. We need to make inquiries about this to both the Egyptian and Irish authorities and to take a sensible approach while at the same time continuing to highlight Ibrahim Halawa's case. Is that okay? Can we leave it until next week?
