If its introduced what will it mean, i dont fully understand it, will clients stop visiting and will most escorts leave Ireland as a result
It is broadly similar in both jurisdictions.
The simple answer is no and no. After 15 years of criminalisation, Sweden still has over 1000 sex workers in a country not much larger than Ireland. Clients are still very much active. Working conditions for sex workers have deteriorated considerably though and human trafficking is actually increasing. This law if introduced will solve nothing but it will ensure longterm funding for NGOs and make life more difficult for sex workers.
2014 in Northern Ireland:
Number of reported attacks on sex workers 70
Number of sex trafficking cases ZERO
