Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I agree that there should be a review of these Cabinet sub-committees. I am trying to establish which sub-committee, if any, deals with international affairs. In particular, I am concerned about Ibrahim Halawa, who begins his 21st trial today. Where does the Government deal with that major miscarriage of justice? The family argues that the Government needs to consider other options now, for example, hiring an Egyptian lawyer to file a suit in the Egyptian administrative court, having Rule 140 applied or beginning an international legal challenge against Egypt on the grounds of human rights violations against an Irish citizen. Will the Taoiseach examine these options urgently and can he confirm if they would they be presented before a sub-committee and in which forum would they be addressed?
