(RTÉ) The former member of the Defence Forces Lisa Smith has lost her appeal against the severity of her sentence for membership of the Islamic State terrorist organisation, ISIS.
The 41-year-old mother of one was jailed for 15 months at the Special Criminal Court last year.
She is the first person to be convicted in an Irish court of membership in another country of an Islamic terrorist organisation.
Lisa Smith was brought to the Court of Appeal from Limerick prison today where she is serving a 15-month sentence for membership of the terrorist organisation ISIS.
She appealed what she believed was the severity of that sentence and claimed it was “too high.”
