Lisa Smith remanded on continuing bail as lawyers ask court to drop case against her
The 37-year-old former member of the Defence Forces appeared at the Dublin District Court this morning.
She has been charged that between 28 October 2015 and 1 December 2019, she was a member of an unlawful terrorist group "styling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" , also known as Isis, contrary to the Criminal Justice Act 2005.She was granted bail with strict conditions on 20 December, but remained in Limerick Prison until 31 December due to issues surrounding a €5,000 bail surety.
He said it was the defence opinion that the evidence did not reach the threshold and there was not "a single piece of evidence amounting to a charge".A State solicitor told the court that it was a complicated and substantial case and more time was required.
