Lisa Smith sentenced to 15 months

Totally agree. Only in Ireland ,do you get to 'write out a hundred lines as part of your punishment'. If that was in UK or USA, she would have received a harsh sentence. They should have left her where she was .

Can the DPP appeal if they consider the sentence unduly lenient.

Be grand, chances are she'll be on some **** chat show when she gets out and spin a sympathy story....might even make a few bob out of it, like that drug mule Michaella McCollum.

I wonder what sentence she would have got if she had joined one of our 'home grown' terrorist organisations?

FFS, the vitriol is unsurprising, the reality is most criminals here get away with what they did, actual crimes that affect people living here, what she has done, while stupid and I dont agree or understand what or why she did the things she has done, has not substantially affected people here or this country. Scumbags, ie day to day toe rags cause more problems, politicians have cause more harm to our society, there is no benefit locking her up other than vengeance. The people who should be locked up (which is at great cost to the state, ie us all) are

1. Repeat offenders who cant or wont be rehabilitated
2. Those who have committed crimes of a violent or sexual nature

She wasn't running ISIS, she was taken in by them for foolish beliefs/reasons

Disgraceful sentence. Not really surprising though given the legal system’s penchant for treating criminals as the real “victims” of any crime.

Nice deterrent, and precedence though, for any would be Jihadi wanting to cause similar chaos though.

Our Country is in serious trouble.

I wish you were wrong...but past experience shows you are probably right...

Wasn't long til he was as on the late late...

ISIS are enemies of humanity so you'll have to get over yourself if you expect people to have sympathy for them (and more fool you if you do).Every last one of them should be killed, no exceptions.

By your logic they would all have committed hari kari, Id say they see themselves as the enemies of the West, but of humanity, they likely think they are defending it from the onslaught of the West. If you don't understand other people, groups, factions and your response is as brutal and violent as theirs, is it any wonder people oppose each other in a tribal way? Or yours are comments for shock or parody, the alternative is you aren't much of a deep thinker.

I'll have to look it up, what actual Crime was she sentenced with? do you even know yourself?

The ah shur god love her defence worked I see.

Why don't you start by reading up on what ISiS have done since you don't have a **** notion apparently? There's nothing to understand about them other than being pure and utter evil savages - don't even try to sugar coat their aims as something I don't understand when you don't have the first clue.

Are you dense? or just a blatant liar? I never sugar coated what ISIS did or do and its there for all to see in this thread, you actually give their actions more support by idiotically stating we should have the Death penalty for the person in question here OR anyone who foolishly supported their cause. I know they tried to set up a Caliphate and I doubt you have a clue what they were up to other than what you were told. ISIS were supported to more than the tune of €800 which the person in question stupidly did. So at what point have I sugar coated what they did/do when it's yourself suggesting the death penalty. You're knee jerk reaction is laughable, just line up with everything everyone else says or what you're told to do and say, think for yourself, if that is possible.

Fear of being accused of islamophobia of course. The very fact that she arrived dressed like that sending a clear message that she's actually proud of what she has become should be reason enough for a very lengthy sentence.

what surprises me is that her military service was seen by the judge as a mitigating factor rather than a compounding factor....

I'd be far more concerned about someone with military training and experience being associated with a terrorist irganisation.

yes them boys would be queuing up to take training from a white woman, sounds like their bag alright

...

If this is an Irishman their getting 3 years minimum. Yet another example of a woman getting a very light sentence by the Irish justice system.

I'm glad that's over for now, her repatriation, legal costs and cost of incarceration must be costing the Irish taxpayer many 100ks. Plus when she gets out she'll be most likely unemployable and a drain on our welfare system for the rest of her life. Some achievement for someone who was by all accounts unremarkable prior to departing the defence forces.

She was only a tiny cog in the ISIS terror machine..far far worse were all those governments supplying them with weapons, buying their stolen oil and even giving their wounded medical assistance.All happy to assist them as long as they killed Syrians and wrecked the country.

But these vermin will never be held to account.

The amount of people who come on here when a sentence has been dished out, and emphatically state its has been far too lenient, is quite disturbing.

Back in the day when people were tarred/feathered, hanged, or dragged through the streets as punishment, there was always a large gathering of people cheering on, I've often wondered would this still occur in current times, and given the sample size on boards I'd quite confidently say there would be a large congregation baying for blood.

yeah she worked on the jet but you can only presume that if she trained in the army then she was trained in weapons which would have been useful to Isis. They did have female trainers, a US female was convicted of it.
