Family say Lisa Smith is 'willing to talk to anyone to clear her name'

The prospect of Garda security services having to arrest Irish Islamic State supporter Lisa Smith as soon as she steps off a plane from Turkey looks to have receded, after the family indicated she was “willing to talk to anyone to clear her name”.

While counter-terrorism officers were hoping the Dundalk woman would agree to talk to them voluntarily, they were preparing for the possibility of having to arrest her in order to question her about suspected terrorist offences committed abroad.
