Woman in 20s dies after assualt in Limerick

When they changed the legislation around sex work a few years ago Amnesty International and the sex workers themselves said this kind of thing would be the output.

It's more difficult and punitive for them to operate as a brothel and they can't be as selective in their clientèle anymore. They are way more exposed to crazy degenerate men as a result with less protection from each other.

I am not into paying for sex. I am okay with two consenting adults reaching an economic agreement on the matter if they choose to do so. That equation really changes when the women have been trafficked into the country and are forced to participate which is the much greater of the evils

Better to license and regulate it in my opinion. Try to keep it out of the control of some of the most evil people imaginable.

It's ones of those inconvenient truths that the only way sex work can ever be safe is to legalise it.

It's never going to go away, so at least try and regulate it and make a few bob on taxes too.

One of my best mates frequently visits a brothel near Frankfurt, as in he goes a few times a month like. It is all completely above board, he gets what he wants and the girls make thousands each a day, in a safe environment with security who will break you in half if you step in any way out of line.

But nah easier to make it illegal, criminalise fellas who want to satisfy their lust, and leave the safety of the girls up to pimps. Cead Mile failte.

newstalk docs are generally poor but this was very good and a real eye opener.


my sister used to work doing room cleaning in a hotel and did this course/seminar covered in the podcast.

Bunch of pearl-clutching do-gooders here codding themselves they can stamp it out through legislation.
 
A mate of mine frequently visits a brothel in Germany (or FKK club as they're known there) and all the girls are Romanian. He has two that he regularly goes with and they even chat casually on WhatsApp, and their families back home all think that they're in Germany working in a shop or an office job.
I’m sure you prob know this already. Many the Irish Cailin did the same abroad. The most recent one I’m aware of is a daughter of a respectable Kerry family I know who came home from 3 years in Dubai with enough to buy a house with cash.

I'd say you wouldn't want to get caught doing that in Dubai
