The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he's deeply disappoined – and concerned – at the latest delay in the Egyptian trial of Dublin man Ibrahim Halawa.
Charlie Flanagan says he'll be asking for more information on the review of technical evidence cited as the reason for delay today.

The Irish Ambassador to Egypt was in court for today's trial, which has now been put off until October 2nd.
It's the 14th time the Dubliner's court date has been deferred. Ibrahim was 17 when he was arrested for taking part in a protest in Cairo in August 2013.
Amnesty International Ireland's Colm O'Gorman says the latest delay indicates the evidence hasn't been scrutinised before now.
