Pushing these things further underground than they already are, will as you say QPH, just leave the field to the most unscrupulous and hardened elements out there. It will disimprove working conditions and make the situation even more dangerous for escorts. The sane remedy in legalisation and regulation and then go after the trafficking element..... but unfortunately our national parliament is inhabited by 166 eunuchs.
It's a bit like, the abortion issue. We d'ont have a problem with that here because we export it. Well if punters decide to export themselves and their money when they feel the urge, it will be the economies of Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic etc that will benefit from it. Though local escorts may repatriate much of their money back to their home countries (as most are non-Irish), at least they pay rent/hotel costs, food and other items in this country. But heh, try to make an economic arguement to the "Soldiers of Destiny" and you might as well be engaging in watersports against a gale force wind.
Emigration might'nt be such a bad thing after all.
