Clare TD Pat Breen met with the 19 year old in jail yesterday and says Ibrahim is in reasonable spirits. 

He's now been in prison in Egypt for two years –  after being arrested in Cairo during protests.

His family has criticised the Government's handling of the situation – however Deputy Breen says it's being treated delicately.
