She’s accused of being a member of Islamic State on dates between Oct 28 2015 and Dec 1 2019.

After her bail application was turned down, she was remanded to the women’s wing of Mountjoy Prison but she has since been moved to Limerick prison where it’s understood she’s being held in a secure segregation unit at the request of her legal team.

Her daughter is being cared for by relatives.
