Lawyers for Lisa Smith have said there is no evidence that the former soldier was a member of Isis or that she funded the terrorist organisation and have asked the Special Criminal Court to dismiss the charges against her.

Michael O'Higgins SC, for Ms Smith, described the prosecution case as "unique and unprecedented" and said they were trying to suggest that by answering her religious obligation to travel to the Islamic State, she was "somehow subsumed" into a terrorist organisation without her knowledge.
