Dr Susann Huschke hoped that it would be published today before the bill goes before the assembly on Monday. Fingers crossed it makes a difference.

Its the same law they are trying to introduce in the south too then or is it different.

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.

one must understand in life it is irrelevant what the individual thinks. its what the majority think and i think the majority want to see an end to prostitution

public opinion matters highly when it comes to voting time. FG are giving a bonus to welfare recipients. its an election gimmick......its hard to determine public opinion but a good gauge is what the papers write about as in they only write what the people want to read. IMO if you gave the general public a choice they would prefer the swedish model.....

i remember the fury about the prostitutes in limerick city. now they were street prostitutes, but the public didnt like them.

this isnt my opinion. my opinion would be legalize it completely and tax it and better regulate in full view. im just trying to gauge how the public thinks....and i dont think they are as liberal as i am
