Sadly, I raise the case of Ibrahim Halawi with the Minister once again. He has been in jail for the past 600 days and we all hoped he would have been released and back home in Ireland by now. We all agree he will not get a fair trial in Egypt, considering the political situation there. Up to now there have been mass show trials and no real legal proceedings. Can the Minister give an update on what support the Irish embassy is giving to Ibrahim and his family. I talked to the family last week and they were worried about the fact he had been moved and they had no knowledge about what was happening.
