The date for the court hearing in Egypt involving Ibrahim Halawa is today, 15 December.

We dealt with that matter at Question Time.

This is the Order of Business.

Yes, but it is not a matter for the Order of Business. It is not related to promised legislation.

Ibrahim Halawa is the same age-----

I know all about it. We had it at Question Time.

-----as the Taoiseach's son.

Will the Deputy resume his seat? Once again, he is out of order.

As I said, Ibrahim Halawa is the same age as the Taoiseach's son. He spent three years and his 20th birthday on Sunday in jail.

Would the Deputy mind sitting down, please? He is out of order. He cannot raise these issues on the Order of Business.

Is the safety of an Irish citizen not something worthy of the Taoiseach's attention?

If the Deputy was here at Question Time, he would know that the matter was raised then. I call Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick.

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle.

Do you know what, a Cheann Comhairle? I find this utterly unacceptable.

The Deputy cannot find it as frustrating as I do.

You have chosen to ignore me when I bring up valid-----

I am not ignoring the Deputy. I am just asking him to stick to matters appropriate to the Order of Business.
