i heard the same from an escort working there with 2 other girls - same M/O - they ring as a punter and arrive with 2/3 others and search the place looking for mobiles / laptops / drugs / cash etc!!

anything connected with the escort trade is confiscated and passports checked for proper ID and work permits/visas.

no arrests made either but warnings given - like every popular event where there are crowds with money, certain groups of people turn up to help these people empty their wallets faster than the bookies or publicans can!!

between pick pockets and drug pushers, the garda units deployed to keep an eye on these are pushed to their limits but now they have another group in their sights which is a lot easier to deal with - unfortunitely girls you are their latest targets!!!!

at this stage the races are nearly over so save yourself anymore hassle and call it a day - the worse thing that can happen is that some young hotshot garda WILL make an arrest to prove a point and it'll make it onto the papers and then your well and truely f*cked!!!

there's plenty of other ways to skin a cat!!!
