I join Senator Zappone and other colleagues who have deplored the fact that Ibrahim Halawa is still in detention and that his trial has been postponed yet again. He went into prison as a 17 year old and has reached his 20th birthday. However, I deplore the political football Senator Daly is attempting to make of the issue. The Government is doing everything possible at the highest level. The Taoiseach has spoken to the Egyptian President and the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade is in regular contact with his opposite number.
