There’s been absolute uproar on social media after it’s now expected that ISIS bride Lisa Smith will be back on Irish soil before we know it.
The former Defence Forces soldier, Dundalk woman Lisa Smith is allowed return to Ireland after joining ISIS.
The government claims that we have a duty of care to bring Lisa Smith home.
A so-called “security assessment” will be carried to see if Smith is “not a threat to life and limb here in Ireland”, Leo Varadkar told the Dáil.
Varadkar discussed Smith’s case in a Cabinet meeting yesterday and they are allowing her back to Ireland. According to RTE, Varadkar said:
“I am very conscious of the fact that while nobody can condone the choice that she has made and the actions that she took in aligning herself with ISIS, a terrorist regime that is hell-bent on the destruction of the west and Christendom, she does have a two-year-old child that is an Irish citizen and that child is an innocent child.
“And as is the case with all Irish citizens, they will be permitted to re-enter the State should they try to do so.
He said: “But of course a security assessment will have to be carried out to make sure that Lisa Marie Smith is not a threat to any of us.
“We are working out how best that can be done to make sure that she does not become a threat to life and limb here in Ireland. But that does not apply obviously to a two-year-old child.”
