Lisa Smith, a former Defence Forces member who denies membership of Islamic State, told a fellow soldier that the Irish Government were "all a shower of bastards" while talking "anti western stuff" and promoting Islam as "the way forward", the Special Criminal Court has heard.
The court also heard that Ms Smith was described by a superior officer in the Irish army as "industrious, hard-working and reliable".
Ms Smith, 39, from Dundalk, Co Louth has pleaded not guilty to membership of an unlawful terrorist group, Islamic State, between October 28, 2015 and December 1, 2019.
