Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I call on the Taoiseach to lift a telephone today, contact the Egyptian Prime Minister and state categorically that we demand the release of an Irish citizen, the Dublin man, Ibrahim Halawa. I want the Tánaiste to make the same call and I ask her not to equivocate or fudge the issue because the case is much too serious for that.
