Lisa Smith walked toddler daughter, 'through bombs, poverty, and cesspit camps' to come home, lawyer tells court

Former defence forces soldier Lisa Smith has been denied bail after she appeared in a court in Dublin charged with membership of the ISIS terrorist organisation.

Her lawyer pleaded that the 37-year-old had come back to Ireland after walking with her toddler daughter, “through bombs, poverty, and cesspit camps, and desert, to come to her country of origin”.
