That is good advice Traveller. As many as possible need to write in to these people. It certainly would be good also to write to thank the only two people submitting to the hearings that made sense. You do not need to use real names to write in to the politicians but if you do any correspondence should be kept confidential if it is your wish.

Bring up all the usual points that criminalising clients is abusing rights and also bring up the point that Denmark and other countries decided that they didn't have the resources to police people's bedrooms. With all the cutbacks to the Gardai etc there are definitely not the resources in this country.

Tell them about the situation in Norway. If Norway throws out their law on sex work it will be absolutely excellent news.

Also make the point in the emails that sex workers and their supporters have a right to be at these hearings and that you expect them to be given invitations.
