I found it very " anti male ".

Sarah Carey was quite good, and i dont always agree with her. She done a good job in holding the interviews.

Also the journalist said thay she thought there was a tiny minority of escorts who actually chose their vocation. And some other stuff about men who go off to far away places for sexual pursuits - that is not me or a lot of other level headed persons on here !! Painting all punters as bad men / monsters. She writes interesting articles but this was wide of the mark.

The lady from Rape Crisis Centre made very valid points re the importance of child protection and ppl exploitation which i agree with. She also mildly hinted that there are escorts who actually choose to do what they do and not forced into it.



Therein lies the problem, transparency on the industry.

Journalist was nicola tarrant .

Enuf said.

Funnily she adamantly continued to claim that women in prostitution were to be decriminalised under the new law.

Never mind the litany of dodgy stats that were produced as ' facts'

[MidlifeCrisis]

Laura spoke well, but unfortunately she was only brought in for part of the debate, so most of the "pro-law" contributor's statements went unchallenged, like made-up statistics that "98% of women in the sex industry are not there of their own free will".

[milkman]

Isn't it aaamaaazinng that 98% of women selling sex are therefore being forced against their will and the Gardai are just looking on with utter indifference,refusing to call in to their easily identifiable locations to save them?

Sarah Carey was way out of her depth trying to bat away the deluge of made up stats .

Format appeared to be a total set-up - effectively LL was 'fed' to her opponents as she herself had not right to reply to the ridiculous assertions of Tarrant et al.

[Laura Lee]

Lesson learned - live debate or nowt.
