'Comprehensive' terror file due on Lisa Smith, says security chief

As gardaí prepare a file on Irish woman Lisa Smith for possible terrorist offences committed in Syria, it has emerged that 20 suspected jihadists have been arrested in Ireland since 2015.

Assistant Commissioner Michael O’Sullivan, the Garda security chief, said he was optimistic of bringing a “comprehensive file” in relation to suspected activities of Ms Smith, who, along with her daughter, is in a camp for family members of Islamic State (IS) fighters in Syria.
