In 2022, Smith became the first person to be convicted in an Irish court of an Islamic terrorist offence committed abroad

Sentencing her to 15 months in prison, Mr Justice Tony Hunt noted in October 2022 that while Lisa Smith (pictured) is a low risk for re-offending, she was persistent and determined in her efforts to travel to Syria and join Isis and has shown no remorse for her actions. File picture: PA

Former soldier Lisa Smith is expected to file submissions shortly in her appeal against her conviction for membership of the terrorist group Islamic State, a court has been told.

Smith’s case was raised briefly at the Court of Appeal on Monday morning before court President Mr Justice George Birmingham while he was dealing with a list of cases to fix dates for upcoming appeals.
