Taoiseach Leo Varadkar came out this week to say that the compassionate thing to do would be to allow ISIS suspect Lisa Smith to return home.

Director of the Iona Institute and Sunday Times columnist David Quinn told Ivan why he's not convinced a Catholic would be shown the same compassion that she is being shown.
