The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Clare Fine Gael TD Pat Breen, is travelled to Egypt for a series of meetings to discuss the case of Ibrahim Halawa.

It's now two years since the 19 year old from Dublin was arrested in Cairo, and his trial date has been delayed several times. There have been calls for the Irish government to put more pressure on Egypt to release the teenager. Deputy Breen met with the Halawa family yesterday, he told us about the trip and what is expected to happen when he gets there. Mr. Breen also spoke about the reduction in ambulance services in Ennis and Kilrush which we have been following in recent days.
