Clare TD Pat Breen is meeting with the CEO of Egypt Air today to discuss the possibility of a Shannon stopover as as part of a service to New york or Toronto.
The meeting follows a visit to Cairo where Deputy Breen met 19-year-old Irish Student Ibrahim Halawa, who is awaiting trail after being imprisoned two years ago.
Deputy Breen says such an agreement would provide huge possibilities for Clare's airport.
