FWIW, I've been regretting the unbanning also.  Lir does not
contribute nearly as much as any one of the people she's constantly
butting heads with.  I'd much rather ban Lir again, and if I were able
to do it now I think I would.  I had high hopes that Lir would turn
around, but those hopes now seem completely divorced from reality: I
think she gets her jollies by stirring up trouble and antagonizing.
