Cairo - Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has told a cross-party delegation of politicians that he will free jailed Irishman Ibrahim Halawa once his trial is over. Mr Halawa, 21, has been in prison for more than three years after being detained in a mosque near Ramses Square in Cairo as the Muslim Brotherhood held a "day of rage" over the removal of elected president Mohamed Morsi in August 2013. The delegation is led by Ceann Comhairle Sean O Fearghail and followed an invite from the speaker of the Egyptian parliament. Eamon Ryan, Green Party TD, said the meeting with president el-Sisi was respectful, open and honest.
