Agreed but by de facto, she also has a responsibility to the state⌠And the state also has a responsibility to you and I⌠She willingly left to join a murderous terrorist regime and before she can return to a normal life here she needs to prove that sheâs emotionally, mentally stable and not a threat to Society.
She has to be punished for what she has done. She was part of a regime run like a dictatorship, where the disciples didnt give a flying fuck what they did as long as their leader was happy. Their greed left the country in ruins, people starving and homeless, and 1000s fleeing for a better life abroad.
Then once she was finished working for Bertie Aherne she went and joined ISIS.
mike - i dont know what the precedence is here
in the event we have to take her back i see no issue in trying her as a terrorist as there must be a case to be made that she left here to join an organisation recognised by the state as a terrorist group - then let the evidence decide her fate
Id have her incarcerated in prison from the moment she sets foot on irish soil to her trial date by special criminal court with no jury
Her daughter would be taken into whatever care there is available for women awaiting trial
its very black and white to me to be honest- let a psychiatrist assess by all means and draw the necessary conclusions - in the likely event she is deemed sane - try her by the law of the land
Does every Irish citizen who leaves to (allegedly) commit a crime ( membership of a terrorist organization, whether here or abroad, is a crime in Ireland) get army rangers sent over to a dangerous area to get returned? I have no issue with Lisa coming back under her own steam to be tried as a criminal (again I see no plausible way that she was not knowingly joining or supporting ISIS, but sheâs entitled to due process) but I disagree fundamentally in endangering further lives in order to return her.
People are making it sound like we sent in the Irish army. Thereâs a couple of Irish personal over there offering consular assistance. To assume they are rangers and carrying arms is a bit over the top also. Silly journalism.
I posted up an article here recently about the Turks not wanting them. Why would they? Sheâs Irish and we have a responsibility to sort her and her child out, good, bad or indifferent.
