Because to paraphrase Minister Fitzgerald; ''sending a message is more important than sex worker rights.''
The Swedish Model is about disapproval of prostitution, plain and simple. In Sweden it was driven by a feminist agenda, here it is a mix of feminism and religion. Actual facts and the opinions & safety of sex workers are irrelevant in Ireland, while our nearest neighbour has taken them into account and rejected this entirely illogical and dishonest legislation.
