She appeared in court this morning.

Lisa Smith's solicitor has asked for the terrorism case against her to be dropped.

The Louth native is accused of membership of ISIS, and appeared in court in Dublin for the fourth time this morning.

The court heard the DPP hasn't completed the book of evidence in the case - with the State's solicitor describing it as 'complicated and substantial'.

Her solicitor told the court there isn't a single piece of evidence to support the charge against her and asked for it to be discontinued.

The 37-year-old, a former member of the Irish Defence Forces, was granted bail following an appeal hearing at Cloverhill District Court in Dublin last month.

She was released on bail with a number of conditions on New Year’s Eve.

The case is due back in court in March and Lisa Smith has been remanded on continuing bail until then.
