"Mr President, I join with other colleagues in welcoming this joint motion from all parties. I especially congratulate those who have campaigned tirelessly for Ibrahim Halawa in the course of the last number of years, and I recognise especially the work of Ms Boylan in that regard.
Ibrahim Halawa is not just an Irish citizen: as Ms Harkin said, he is a European Union citizen. The European Union is built on freedom, rights and fundamental human rights, which are inscribed in European law. We expect the European Union to believe in those rights and to apply them, and equally we expect third countries with which we have a relationship to uphold those rights as well.
I ask the Egyptian authorities to take note of the fact that this Parliament is speaking with one voice today. I ask them, especially, to use Law 140 which, as I understand it, requires a presidential decree allowing Ibrahim Halawa to come home to Ireland, and which has been used in other cases.
We need to speak with one voice, and I think the House has done a great service today in highlighting this case."@en1
