Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The medical visit took place the week before last. The report was immediately furnished and is being acted upon. I assure Deputy Connolly and the entire House that I will continue to urgently work on this case. My officials continue to work on it on a daily basis so that we maintain pressure on the Egyptian authorities to release our citizen, allow him return to his family and resume his studies in Dublin. Every effort in that regard is continuing, including the active involvement of the Taoiseach as Head of Government.
