Lisa Smith has won an appeal against a decision to exclude her from the UK

The 39 year old from Dundalk is due to go on trial in Dublin next year, charged with membership of the Islamic state

 

She had been barred from entering the UK by the British Home Secretary.

Today the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, sitting in London ruled in Ms Smith's favour.

Her solicitor Darragh Mackin welcomed today's decision, which he says will now reinstate his client's basic rights to travel to the North of Ireland.
