Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not have to answer the Deputy at all. My concern, and the concern of all us in the House, should be to get Ibrahim home. What is the next step? The Minister mentioned his recent meeting with Foreign Minister Shoukry and the Taoiseach has written directly to President el-Sisi. Is another call lined up? Will there be further visits? I am heartened to some degree that the length of the adjournment between trial sittings has shortened and more witnesses are being heard. All of us want him released and returned home today. Deputy Smith and others can take what they want from my comments.
