The family of Ibrahim Halawa has confirmed that his trial in Cairo, which was scheduled for today has been put back until 26 April.
The Dublin teenager has been detained in Egypt for over 18 months.
Amnesty International has designated him a "Prisoner of Conscience".
The 19-year-old, from Tallaght in Dublin, has been detained since his arrest 18 months ago at a demonstration in Cairo.
Ibrahim and his sisters were arrested in the al-Fateh mosque after taking part in a protest related to the ousting of former Egyptian president Mohammed Mursi in Cairo.
His sisters were released after three months in prison.
Mr Halawa and 493 others are facing charges of murder, attempted murder and participating in an illegal protest.
But Amnesty International, which has investigated the case, says he has no case to answer and has declared him a prisoner of conscience.
His sisters yesterday said that all other foreign prisoners from the UK, US, Turkey, Canada and Australia have been released following pressure from their respective governments.
Over 70 people demonstrated yesterday calling for the Government to secure his release from prison.
A Government spokesperson tyesterday said the Taoiseach was fully aware of the case of Ibrahim Halawa.
The Egyptian government is well aware of Ireland's position.
The Embassy of Ireland in Cairo has been in sustained and direct contact with the Egyptian authorities in relation to the case.
