31. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if consideration was given to or any mention was made of the continuing imprisonment without trial of a person, details supplied, in an Egyptian prison during the brokering of the Irish-Egyptian agreement to allow Ireland to begin exporting live cattle to Egypt, which concluded in February 2016; if any effort was made during negotiations to leverage the deal to secure the release of this person; and if he will now consider calling off the deal before the first live exports take place near the end of this year.
