Dundalk woman's family want her to tell story on Late Late Show

The family of Dundalk woman Lisa Smith is hoping that she can do an interview on the Late Late Show when she returns to Ireland. 

According to reports in The Irish Sun Lisa Smith's family believe that a chat with Ryan Tubridy will help to "smooth things out" if she returns to Ireland. 

The report also claimed that Smith's family had requested a closed set for the potential interview. 

RTE declined to comment when they were contacted by the Irish Sun for a comment.  

The 37-year-old Dundalk woman is currently stuck in a refugee camp in Syria and wants to bring her daughter back home with her to Ireland. 

Smith, a former Defence Forces member was detained by US troops in the north of Syria as she was suspected to be supporting ISIS in March. 

Meetings took place between the Defence Forces and the Department of Foreign Affairs to draw up a plan to bring Smith home last month. 

When asked about the possibility of Lisa Smith returning home Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: “Going to Syria or going to live in what was called Islamic State is not in itself an offence or a crime. So we will need to carry out an investigation. I know the authorities there will want to interrogate her to see if she has been involved in any crimes there. But it’s very possible that wasn’t a combatant.”
