Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment

I am not aware of specific issues raised in the details supplied. Matters related to the international transport of freight is a matter for the Minister for Transport. Assistance may be available from the Irish Embassy in Cairo in raising concerns regarding any detained cargo.
