A former member of the Defence Forces is seeking to have charges of being a member of Islamic State and financing terrorism dropped at the Special Criminal Court.
Lawyers for Louth woman Lisa Smith, 39, have made an application for the case against her to be dismissed.
It is expected that they will argue there is not sufficient evidence to convict their client on any of the charges.
The case received widespread attention in 2019 when it emerged that Smith, a former Air Corps soldier who had worked on the Government jet, had been detained in Syria over alleged links to IS.
