The trial of Ibrahim Halawa in Eqypt has been delayed for the 20th time.

The Dubliner has now spent 1,313 days in prison in Cairo after being arrested in August 2013.

The Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan says he's disappointed and frustrated with the news from Egypt.

He faces a mass trial alongside 493 other defendants.

The trial has now been rescheduled for 5 April 2017.
