The Taoiseach is very conscious of the matter and will meet Ibrahim Halawa's father soon in another context. The members should let matters go on as they are and if they are not coming to a successful resolution, we can revisit the case in the interests of Ibrahim Halawa. This is what we are all interested in. We are interested in the release of this young man from a prison in Cairo. There is a great deal happening and it should be allowed to go ahead without us adding any confusion to it.
