Is Dublin the only European capital without a red-light district ?

[Cassandra]

One word. Catholic death grip. guess that's three but you know what ' mean

[paddytheplasterer]

[Cassandra]

There was a place, mount pleasant something or other near rathmines I think that was a red light zone in the distant past, it still has the big windows, like in Amsterdam.

I don't know about that, prostitution is/was rife in most of the Catholic countries in Europe.

Sadly the decision makers in this country fail to see that the benefits of legalized prostitution are far greater than the increased criminalization of it.

They fail to see that bringing in laws that not only protect the ladies and gentlemen "selling their wares" (so to speak) but regulate the "industry" they also protect those who avail of the services of escorts.

Bring in a healthcare system for escorts and ensure they are tested regularly and that the escorts must prove that they do not have any STD's etc but also and lets be fair here more importantly provide a system of security where the girls are projected from low lifes.

Anyway I've rambled on way too long. I'll shut up now.

they do see it but it doesnt match very well with their plans

150 years ago Dublin had the biggest red-light district in Europe, in the area called Monto (now Talbot Street).

There were over 1600 prostitutes (5 times more than now).

London has Soho, Paris has Pigalle, Amsterdam basically is a giant red-light district. Even in Rome you can still see ladies of the night plying their trade on the streets.

What's wrong with a red light district?

Why is it IFSC considered a red light district? Do we go in knickers on the street in front of the Bank of Ireland?

I think if prostitution would be legal everywhere in the world, there would be no more trafficking, no more PIMPs and no more Swedish Laws.

I'm upset.... SEX workers will never disappear as long as sex is the most important activity in everyone's life.

They just make it worst by trying to stop it.


I know i usually don't open this kind of topics, but today i just imagined Dublin with a red light district just like Amsterdam. And i think that would bring a lot of income to the capital of Ireland.

There would be a sex tourism, who has been to Amsterdam and never thought of visiting the red light district??? No one !!!

I agree with you Luna on your post,whitout been rude,wheyIreland is better than Europe to not have sex worker's?

Just because it's a catholic country? for been that way,the avarage of men looking for escorts is even higher,why Ireland

cant have sex worker's,what made the place better than Europe?taking away the free will of adults to do what they want with their private lives,what gonna be next?tell the civil how they should spend their money,how,where and with who?

Wasn't it a Bishop or another Who petitioned for the Mom to be closed down?

Is there really a red light district in Rome, a couple of friends of mine went over there for a rugby trip a few years back and they couldn't even find a lap dancing bar. Maybe they were looking in the wrong places!!
